Default diamond cut heads....

ok here is the deal I have researched this option on my 08 Street Glide, and the cost for the labor to cut them is roughly 500... anyone have any clue on the labor to remove the heads and replace them when the cutting is done?

Thanks a million for your help!

aren't the 110 CI head diamond cut? I wuld look into a full stage two before I paid for dressing up the heads a bit. You are going to have a grand into that idea if you can't do most of the work yourself. Shoot, I would look at the color shop or a custom paint job before I went to that expense.

Word of warning: The Diamond Heads look killer, but you will cut the crap out of your hands everytime you clean or tinker around the motor.

What's wrong with my mullet? If it's out of style, it hasn't made it to Wisconsin, yet.

Default Not sure about labor, do my own work

But I think it looks great. Have it on my Road King as well. Seems to add the finishing touch to the engine. As for going out of style I could care less. I like what I like and I do it for me, not to make someone else happy.

There you go. Only thinking about yourself and nobody else.

In my opinion, one of the best cosmetic mods on the motor and extra cooling to boot. It really makes the motor stand out

Someone else offers something called spiral cut. You might check on those prices before commiting. Sorry I cant remember who does it but it looks pretty slick too.
