Tart you own 1200 I say.

If you want to save money but go as fast as you can,,you buy a stock 883 and put the NRHS or Hammer 1250 kit with head work and cam and you'll go harder than a hotted up stock 1200.

The stock 883 is the cheapest way to build a go faster sporty by what ever the price difference between the two bikes is,,,,,,,which could be the whole price or more of the 1250 Kit.

Remember that apart from the top ends the two bikes are identical.

The basic NRHS Kit is only about US $700-$800 and a good home Mechanic can install it in a day or two.

The base kits can also be installed without any changes other than rejetting your carb if that's as much as you can afford at the time.

Far better value than getting AMPS to do a stage one install on your stock bike.
