Default Selling my 04 1200 heads. ***SOLD***

Well I got my 883 heads. Now I need fundage to have them done. I will sell my 1200 heads to someone here if they are interested.

They have been shrunk ported (intake and exhaust)by JET Performance JET, radius valve job and the springs set up.

A new set of 1200 heads cost about 650 and these are already done. I paid 800 for them and that is what I would like to get for them, plus shipping of about 20 bucks or so.

Smaller valves and ports. Want to increase velocity, more bottom end power and max at about 6K.

OK, I've just heard that the 1200 '04 XB type heads were the best thing going now!!

On a Buell or a 7500rpm motor they are great. Even good for a 84-88cu in motor. But I want a lot of torque from my bike. I've seen a 04 1200 with wisecos and 883 heads make like 85ft lbs at 3700K or so with only a stage 1 and a Twin Tech ignition and factory cams. Just something myself and my motor guy are gonna try out. I just can't afford another 1000 bucks right now after Christmas. So if I can sell mine I can have it done by April riding time.

What kind of horses is it putting out?? What kind of work are you going to have done to the 883 heads?

Same work as shown in the link above but with the 1200 intake valve. Right now I have 83HP at 6300 and 81ft lbs at 4000-4500rpms. Looking to get maybe 85-90ftlbs and hopefully keep about the same HP.
