Should be purrty good. I'd like a set of heads by ward performance ( iirc FM outlaw heads use)for the 124. Doesnt FM have an exchange program for heads ?

They do, but I picked up a real nice set on here and would prefer to use them.
I was told it would take a bit longer like 2-3 week turn around but hey it's still winter for another 3 months here in the beautiful Black Hills of SD so I do have some time.

If you want to use your own casting. Why not send them out and get them hand worked with a flow bench?

that would be a better idea,have your heads ported by hand to match the rest of your build,CNC porting is only as good as the original head that was digitized and that's a crap shoot that out of 100`s of different build combinations,it will fit your build right.BTW,im doubting FM is CNC porting in house

Don't be so "apathetically" negative Kirby lolol.

BTW; never seen what you do.... you never say??

At least when one calls F M you get to talk to a real person and not a machine.

You call my shop and you will get voice mail, and if you don't leave one. You don't get a call back. BUT don't worry. When I am working on your bike or parts. I don't stop every five minutes every time my phone rings either. I stay on task, on focus, and in the zone. When this does become a problem for a customer or a potential customer. I inform them I am not the shop for them. I will have a better time if they go to the dealership. At least a motor cloth girl could answer the phone and then you can be directly transferred to some service writer.

I thought they did a pretty good job on the M8 heads. Here is my personal before and after:
