More power in my M900 -98

V heads come up for sale here regularly with the bigger cams and valves. Do you have local parts breakers you trust? I have a friend with 900 V cams, but I don't know how bad shipping would be from here.
You should get the bigger valves and someone to do the machine work. Know a good machine shop? Sometimes it's easier and cheaper to buy complete heads. You could enquire with our sponsors regarding 43 In/38 Ex valves, or even 44 In/38 Ex valves.

Yuuup... Tried everything to send a message to ccw.... 

Have an exelent machinshop and when I first do this, I want to do a propper job. So, new valves and cams will be fitted. Any good places online to buy this?

Some of the Americans should know.

Candice at CCW should be in touch soon if you emailed.

You're looking for a place in the States to buy valves and cams?

Yes sir! Any ideas were?

Kibbelwhite for valves;

Even my dealer opts for their valves over OE.

But imo you'd be better off just looking for a pair of complete V heads. Since veetwo went under there is no way that I can think of to purchase new cams, and for the price you'd be paying for used ones the complete heads probably wouldn't set you back much more, and you'd be getting the valves along with it.

Thx Buck Naked!
I'm now looking for new heads... what is the differense between V1 and V2 heads?

[Rudemouthsky]

I think the V2 heads had valve guides that were made of a different material, bronze instead of steel but otherwise they are essentially the same. Someone else may know for certain.

One thing I just realized; if your motor does/does not have external oil lines from the heads, you will need to be sure you get the same type to replace it. In other words I don't think older SS V heads will work on your 98 because of the external lines you *don't* have. Someone smarter than me can confirm/debunk that statement tho.

Thx again B N

Pm sent re a couple of guys who might point you in the right direction to have your heads rebuilt.
Cheers.

The motors changed around that time, deleted external oil lines, larger alternators, etc. The external appearance of the alternator side cases and lack of external oil lines stand out. A question to the forum, will 900ie heads fit these later carbed motors? I suspect the head/barrel oiling system is the same. That could be an option.

Good question. We already know the cams from an I.E or SSIE work, if something is different it's probably in how the o ring recess lines up with the cylinder.

the 41mm carbs are not ideal for the street, go with the 39s
