RE: whats your top speed
At sea level, humid and 71 degrees starting from third gear, I was able to hit what my speedo said was 135 in about a mile.
That included accelerating and then slowing for my left turn. I weigh 175 and my bike is stock except for the Uni Air Filter.
Felt like more was there, but CHP's are thick out here and I was pressing my luck.
I hear Japanese Speedometers are optomistic anyway, maybe my actual speed was in 120's.
Did note however that this little bastard pulled hard right up to redline
Put it this way, the bike goes faster than I ever want to go.

RE: whats your top speed
do u actually notice much of a difference in acceleration with the 520 conversion? i was thinkin about doing it, but had second thoughts when i found out that the stock chain costs about the same amount as the 520 kit..

144 on GPS. Speedo was very close.
I weigh about 125-130 no gear, no mirrors, jetted, K&N filter, vance & hines pipe, 520 conversion (very kinked chain) 14 tooth front sprocket.
w/the new chain and sprockets now I think I can hit a true 146-147 mph.
89 hp.

RE: whats your top speed
In top speed runs....it may free up 1 mph....but there are usually other variables....no I can't say I noticed a difference because there were more than 1 variable altered (sprocket size, dyno tuning, etc)
1 lb rotational mass is approx = to 4 or 5 lbs static mass.
I think you can save...1-2 lbs off the lightweight conversion....
which would translate in about 1 solid HP, give or take.
If your stock stuff is fine, I woudn't switch, but if its time to go, throw on some lightweight stuff.
