The result of a busted belt

[akmnstr]

I had a head that looked like that.  It wasn't from a broken belt; rather, mis-timed valves.  I was on a test ride.  I pulled in the clutch and coasted down a hill then pushed the bike home.  At the time I was getting advice from V-2 in Australia.  I called them up and then sent them the head.  They filled the cuts and dents with weld and then shaped the head.  20K miles later and I am still using the same head.  It did cost some $$ but not as bad as I feared.  The big bore kit that I used to replace the trashed cylinder and piston was the most expensive part.

...also the best part. I mean, unfortunate that it happened, but fun outcome.

Yes, I've been able to turn every problem into an opportunity to gain a little more Hp and dependability.
