I have the 3 HD clutch springs, 18t countershaft sprocket, Samrat pushrods, basic electronic ignition, Amal 30mm carb, Indian short silencer and pipe, KB air filter and a new maintenance free battery. Oh, and my sprag is acting up. I had the high flow oil pumps but removed them. My oil consumption went up considerably when I had them in. The new ignition removes the "bark" of the exhaust. Instead it just seems loud all the time. That's all I intend to do to improve performance of the cast iron 500 I have (Classic 2006).

I am not disputing any one here,especially an actual experience.My '99 did not use any oil to speak of before the hi-volume pumps went  in,and it still doesn't.Of course,I do not know that they did any good,either.I do intend to upgrade the bottom end,so maybe a good thing to get done.For me.

Absofrikenlutely.

I always wanted to know how to spell that.

I went with a 32mm flat slide and had a huge improvement. I think until I add the Ace performance parts, I have more carb than I need and the 30mm would be just as good.
