.030" head gasket on a stock 103" motor - how much of a bump in compression?

    Just wondering how much of an increase in compression I would end up with just changing HG? Bike is a 2014 stock 103" and looking for the simplest (cheapest) way to get to 10:1 cr. 

    thanks.

    Should gain you around an extra 0.25, and take you to where you want to be.

    yep 57h cams with .030" HG would be spot on

    I will add it would be a shame not to have the heads cleaned up a little at the same time, still keeping the stock valves.
