TP USA has the head work with +2mm intake valves for $985 and also the high compression pistons for your 865 WITH cams for another $970 looking at just under 2 grand for everything you're looking to get without actually boring your cylinders. Honestly, this would be the way I would go if I was looking to do it. Don't let things like "stripped and cleaned" and "rebuild" make it sound like Thunderbike will do anything more than any other shop, it's pretty standard practice, and they will all do that. 5 angle valve job is better than 3 angle.

I think the product cost will outweigh the shipping savings personally, and you could get more for your money from Triumph Performance USA


Stacka,

I'd have to agree with Dave on this one. I haven't purchased any of these mods but I have researched them for some time. I was going to make the same recommendation. It gives you the biggest bang for the buck for an 865 engine. You've done everything and more over the 904 mod but are only 39ccs less. Any cam work will be an improvement over stock, the increased valve area and flow of the heads is a bonus and the increased compression of 10.8 vs the "supposed" 10.5 of the Wiesco kit is better. You aren't sleeving your cylinders also.

Also agree that savings should positively offset the exchange and shipping costs.
