Thanks Stratplexi for the info.  I'll have to look into the local dealers and if there are any winter specials, haven't heard of any yet but will keep checking.  As for the cam, as you can see i have a Breakout so don't necessarily ride like the touring guys so not sure if the 259s cam will be good for my "bar hopping" riding style or not.

It will be ideal and better yet if the dealer will allow added compression.

My opinion is the 259 cam needs 10.5:1 compression. I would recommend you talk to the mechanic who is going to do the work before making final decision. The last thing you want is a bike with a soft bottom end...they are not as fun to ride.  Once you hit 3K RPMs the fun begins but riding like that gets fatiguing IMHO. I ride mine fairly hard but i don't have to for the power snd torque to be there. Anyway, just my perspective.

It's all tune dependent. With a dealer that is using a canned map they must leave the kits as they come. The 117 at 10:1 with the 259 will not be soft unless it has a stupid pipe choice but it can pick up a bit more everywhere with a custom tune and compression optimization.  Head work, better yet.
