    It is not really considered necessary. These bikes are already well
    respected for their fuel economy and in general any improvements you
    gain are not particularly cost effective. You would probably be better
    advised to critically examine and adjust your riding style.

    No probs.

    Umm, depends. You get a lot of Harleys tuned to 441. I've been on rideouts
    where the Road Captain has had a go at me for being flat when the Drifter
    was running a nice crisp 440, and there's MCs in Germany who regularly tune
    as high as 443 for a run. I've found that a quiet word with the side-valve
    contingent usually calms things down when the pitch anoraks are geting a bit
    shrill.

    The KSBs are, of course, perfect fourths.
