Probably won't get a lot of responses; hardly ever see anyone on this forum paying the premium for Baisley's heads. Not a reflection on Baisley quality, just a fact that most don't see the cost benefit, i.e, performance increase over other options vs increase in cost. But, that's JMHO so I could be wrong; we shall see.

Shovel context) I waisted in my opinion a lot of money going that rout.. for him it’s all about valve geometry. At the end of the day certainly at the end of my wallet my bike ran the same times with no improvement.. it was about 3k for me to have that opinion… do what you want.
