Greetings from Finland

As Axman suggested it is time for me to introduce my self. As you all might guess that I ride Yamaha BT1100. My bike is black and it is from year 2003. Mileage is growing every day...
I became a fan of this bike when it was introduced the first time in Feb. 02 at MP02 (biggest motorcycle fair in Finland) fair in Helsinki. When I fist sat on the bike I was sure that this is the bike for me. Bike fits perfectly and feels just right. I bought my Bulldog in May 06 from http://www.yamaha-voiges.de/ (Thanks to Uwe!) in Uetze. (So it took me 4 years to get my dream
bike.) I drove it from Uetze to Rostock and took a Superfast ferry from there to Hanko Finland. Been riding ever since and liking it even more!
One image from my trip to Germany:

Bulldog beats the * out of my old BMW F650.
Ok these bikes have different riding purposes but anyway.
One sad thing about this bike is that it would really need some more power. When riding alone it is ok but I am riding a lot with my girlfriend so extra 'boost' would be nice. I am now thinking to get this Topham kit. I mailed Nadine at Topham and kit costs 85,26 + delivery 10 euros = 95 euros, is it worth it? And what about installation? Do it your self or something special needed? I have changed the o-rings in the F650 crabs so this can not be so difficult? All information is highly appreciated!
More great riding ahead
