Just got the head back from being machined. New valves,guides, springs. Just getting ready to slap it on. Will have an update soon. Also found the coolest ignition cover.


I have painted it silver around the characters. I will have more pics soon.

I have an older Kerker system K nameplate with the 1/8" mounting diameter holes 4.5" apart. It has been slightly scuffed but is otherwise useable. If you want it let me know.

The plate is 5.00" long by 1.400 wide.
