Thanks Jay. As a matter of fact, my store of choice is FES. Eddy is fantastic and someone I consider a mate of mine. We haven't spoken for a while though but now with winter coming on he might have a few minutes spare etc.

I know Thunderbike have a good reputation over your way but I'm still trying to work out how much value for money they are. Btw, they wrote back and told me the shipping cost was incorrect and a glitch in their website.

Anyway, I'm sure there is someone near where I live who will be able to work on my head (what ), and do a good job.

I have plenty of time to decide what's good bang for my buck but gives me trouble free power.

As it stands it appears good cams are important, and a free flow head which maybe comes with different valves. To be honest I'm pretty confused at the moment and would just love someone to itemise all the things that would work well without being too much trouble.

For instance, boring out an 865cc doesn't seem to me to be good value, but who would consider +$1K good value for high compression pistons.

So yeah, lots of consideration in there, that's for sure. At the moment I'm a sponge though.
