shiny billet heads for your RD

[2steve]

Seems like the "deathtrap" verbiage ties into the "Dumb idea. I'm doing it anyway" 2 stroke T-shirt concept that has been previously mentioned.

Working on the theory that if your bike is a deathtrap POS and you add new shiny bits, it will at some point cease being a deathtrap POS and become a nice machine?

At least by popular consensus since there's no real rating system.

Asking for a friend.

i resemble that remark !!!

What do you guys think of the VP logo on the sides of the heads?  I would rather not have the VP on them, maybe I'll change my mind later.

Looks like he will make up a bunch of heads and only cut the domes and oring grooves when an order is placed. May not be an option on the logo. I think it looks alright with the satin finish

Here's a quote fron Mark Morrow on his race yesterday:

"Huge thanks to all of my sponsors, but especially my newest sponsor, Vin Borbone, who created some pretty trick heads that turned out to be simple, easy, bolt on performance. The bike was a rocket ship from the first time I opened the throttle and I swear, it's gained nearly 500 more rpm in powerband width, as well as more power overall! "

Those heads are beautifully machined.

The heads look beautiful, but the ebay listing shows a dyno graph with a high of 43hp at the rear wheel...
Is that a good number for a 400 ?
What kind of rear wheel HP do they do stock?

[teazer]

Good Question.  My interpretation of that chart was that with the billet heads there's a steady 1-2HP gain across the rev range compared to the stock 41HP. 

I would speculate that the difference would be larger on a modified motor, but maybe not.  I haven't tested different heads on an RD.  Does anyone know what difference say a DG head made on a stock motor for comparison?

They do look beautiful though and the machining is amazing.
