    Wow katman, you have *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ for luck. 3 heads in a row!! Sorry to hear you're still having issues getting your bike done. Don't worry though, it will be well worth all the hassle you're having. That Kat is going to be one sweet ride!
    Y'know I have never seen a GS 4-valve head get cracks in it yet? I thought that was only a Kawi KZ/GPZ 2-valve thing? Hmmm, I better take a close look at mine next time I have any of them off.

      grrrrr... let us know what you decide man.
      Another head or get it welded? I know of
      people who have had them welded with no
      issues. It may be worth it at this point.

          Have another head in being done....

          should be ready Wed or Thurs. But my rebuilder is on holidays for two weeks so it will be a little longer wait.

                I picked up another 83 kat frame with a U.S. title and am thinking of building another one to sell with a gsxr conversion. I have so many parts I think I can put together a complete other bike.

                I ain't doin nothing though till the beast is beathin"
