I wouldn't have thought you'd be getting much more than 100bhp at the rear wheel,and a genuine 100bhp is more than enough on the road don't you think?
im just debating whether to get the last (apparently) ivans kit on ebay. Am I happy with my stock bike? absolutely. Have I got a decent workshop with light and power to have a day doing it in the winter? No. Ive got a horrible dark cold steel container. Have I got the spare dosh for the kit? Absolutely not, i'm not working full time. Do I need it? probably not, I'm fifty eight fercrissake..But still.....
I have seen it mentioned on here that the 143 bhp that Yamaha states for a standard Gen 1 power output is bollocks!
you rotten buggers have just cost me 120 quid!! call yourself mates... like VNA sez, it makes sense I guess, ive got the modded rear shock, ais removed and decent Ti can, may as well complete the set
R1 forks next year perhaps mate, depending on the cost. the bike is already way better than I am mind..

There'll always be someone who could ride my bike better than I can I ended up wanting the Ivan's thing done because, like you, I'd heard so many good things about it. They turned out to be true.I then got the R6 shock done, as it was obvious that standard shocks were pants (and tired by this time on most examples), and it definitely wanted the handling tidying to cope with the extra the Ivan's mod gave it.Then I started to find (real or imagined) that being able to push harder showed up some weakness at the front end, which I'd never before found. Put it off for a while due to financial constraints, but got Luke to do the R1 fork conversion when he had this modified pair in and money was available. My God, what a transformation. Combined with the Ivan's and rear shock, I now can't fault this bike, suits me perfectly, better than any has done before, and I've been through a few different bikes in my time. I never want to sell this one though.
Whats a ball park figure on luke doing the conversion bud, assuming he can source and supply a front end?
