I also had weisco TLR pistons put in and a thinner head gasket. And the funny thing was after that my mileage improved.
My futura is my daily commuter and weekend bike for now, needs a bit of maintenance but is otherwise running well.
I also have a 2000 gsxr 750 track bike but will be doing one or 2 days this year and selling it for something newer at the end of the season.

It's hard to say. I did the reroute when I was rebuilding the bike. Not riding it for a few months then cutting out the airbox, putting in a K&N, doing the breather reroute, and putting the Special OPS pipe on there makes it a bit difficult to know if one thing had much of an impact over another. All that said, doing those mods did seem to make the bike feel stronger and pretty much whacked out that whole 'hit the throttle and almost stall' thing off idle that sometimes happens... Legitimate performance improvement....
but the motherfucker sounded SICK.

Fuck that shit... big waste of money. Take a look at the amount of oil that actually makes it's way out of the breathers and that fucking catch can is a joke. I put a little breather filter I got at Advanced Auto Parts for like $6 on mine. After nearly 2k miles, not a fucking drip... the filter looked new.
