+1 for maint. throttle. Rolling "off" will xfer weight to front end loading your forks and becoming unstable. Don't forget trail braking if needed.

I too want to add about 10hp to my FZ. First of all by losing about 50lbs then will be adding a Power commander with custom map and a change in sprocket size. Pulling power wheelies on this bike is no simple task unless your in the 10 to 13k rpm range and built like a feather. Unless you can...

The biggest difference is going to be looks and sound. Go with the ones that apeal to you the most.
