Default Who has the best headwork??

I installed a 107 kit from fuel moto and since I have it all apart I figured I may as well have the heads done. Who do you think has some of the better headwork? I don't want anything wild just good quality work that will help me bump up my numbers some more. Let me know what you guys think thanks

Dan Baisley, but he's usually got a pretty long wait. T-Man sells excellent off-the-shelf heads.

Why don't you just go with who Jaime uses for this kit. It's a proven set-up.

I like to get as many opinions as I can and see the differences. It never hurt to look around and see what people offer and so on. I was going to give the guys from hillside a call tomorrow and talk to them a bit and see what they say.

Use Bigboyz Cycles http://www.bigboyzcycles.com/calculators.htm in Augusta Maine, right up in your neck of the woods. One of the most knowledgeable and decent people that are out there. Some of the other ones that I've talked to are a little full of themselves I think. That's who I would use.. for sure..

I have GMR Performance stage III heads on both my bikes, so you can guess which direction i would steer you. That said, I've read a lot of positive comments about BigBoyz heads too. As for price, it depends on what you want. You can spend anywhere between $300 and $1500.
