    Just my 2 cents. Replace the 25 (if it needs replaced) with a 25. Run it on the runabout for awhile. Keep learning of all the other RD/Bigtwin options as far as color, styling, etc. Eventually you may want to upgrade to a new/bigger/different motor. Maybe, maybe not.

    Doing a ph swap may cause big headaches and ultimately may not be worth it. Learn more first, THEN you can make a well informed decision. Patience is the key.

    Also, you may find as I have that RD/Bigtwin models are relatively cheap and abundant. It seems nobody wants them lately.

    Good luck and have fun!

    Again, just my 2 cents….
