Some pretty good lookin work done on those heads Tige. Do you have any shots of the intake and exhaust port work?
Also, Cometic Head gaskets rock. I ran them for the last few years on my turbo truck. I never had head gasket problems again, state of the art with those.

Were you interested in selling your stock cylinders?

They are mechanical compression release. You just push down the tab on both heads prior to start up, this releases the compression in the combustion chamber. Once the bike starts the releases close up.

I plan on keeping my stock cylinders.

That mill looks mint, figures should be great. A full road test/review would be nice. The final piece in the jigsaw?

Nothing beats a good ole head job, but if you want more inches you are going to need to stroke it

I had the same work done on mine. Wait till you get it tuned. You will be amazed on how much torque you'll have. Use the compression releases all the time. If you don't it will burn up the starter.

I had Mike Lazano do my head work. He is out of New Braunfels, Tejas.

Have fun with the new ride....
