Nice stuff....a spring tune up is a great idea.
Make sure you keep an eye on your rad over the next few rides though....often when the coolant is changed their will be a few bubbles that are trapped in the system which work their way to the top of the rad after a bit of riding which cuts of the syphon from the reserve tank so you can be low on coolant and not know it. Normally I fill up the system and then remove the rad cap and let out the bubbles again after 1 ride and then check it again 2 rides later and sometimes there's a few more bubbles.

he's got pretty much everything...
To go 50, you'll need a big bore kit, plus either a CDI or different gearing.
Hey, where in NH are you? I live in Tamworth, and work in Conway. I'm installing the big bore kit right now... hopefully I'll be up and running in a couple weeks.

Actually that's a really old pic....I think I just had a CDI and a big stretch of downhill road. I guess the airbox is mod'd too and I might have the cam but that's just a Ruck that cruises at 37-40mph bombing a hill with a CDI. I actually did a few other runs down this massive hill and got the speedo needle pointing into the white (right side) digit in the odometer (approx. 55mph) but I couldn't get that fast while I was tucking less to take the pic.

 No such a hill for me, so the speedo needle has never been past the over temp light
