"Ping like a mofo". What does that mean?
Think I would just buy the heads, make an sparkplug dummy, and use them as single sparkplug heads....

mofo, as in mother make the beast with two backser.  lots of pinging.  coating the plugs with the molten pieces of piston pinging.  that sort of shit.

most likely.

you'd want to make sure your dummy plug doesn't act as a hot spot.

Im still buing stuff from all over... Heads (V2 single sparkplug) ond carbs (FCR 41) are hopfully on the way to me. Im currently reading about the importance of changing coils (any thoughts?) and studbolts.

The bike is in daily use as long as the roads here in Norway is icefree  [Dolph] . Rebuild starts as soon as the snow is here (and all the parts I need)  [thumbsup]

Exactfit coils from CCW our sponsor. Great bang for bucks.

Those dual plug heads are a good price, you wouldn't be able to get the mod done for that price, let alone the bigger valves!

Having said that, back in the day when Veetwo did this mod, not a lot was gained from it. Wasn't 'really' worth it..
Ducati did it for emissions.

The bigger valves are another story...

Get the Exactfit coils as Koko64 said. Really worth the small price, smoothed out the spark a heap for me!

I've been thinking about them heads, I thought they were a good price but I made what I thought was a silly offer and see what happens.
$500...  and now their mine! hahaha
now what am I gunna do with em?!!    ;D
I guess when they turn up I could have a good look and do what's needed and try em out (Of course that'll require more expence- coils etc)...   
I reckon they would have been ported. If you were going to spend that sorta money you would have done that as well eh?
Do ya's think they are magnesium covers? I've never seen one with the oil cooler support like that...

Damn ebay!!  not the first time I've made what I thought was a silly offer and got it...    [roll]  :)  [drink]

How's the build going Graymonster?

I doubt that those are Mag covers, I don't think any were Mag with the cooler mount.

That cooler mounting is the standard SS 'low-mount' setup.

I've got a 900SS customer and his 900SS riding buddy that have swapped from the low mount to the Monster-style high mount and both report substantial decreases in oil temp.

Hehe, monsta, e-bay got you (and me)

Tony, still riding my bike but everything is planed. Recon I'll start november-ish.
I'v been helping my friend who bought an really beat up 900ss. Previus owner had started an rebuildbut not finished. Btw, it is an 1993 with w1 heads… is that original?

Nibor, exactfit coils is on my must have list :)

monsta

I thought the W1 heads came about 95...
My 93 has V2 heads standard.

Not original, 900SS never came with W heads, unless someone put them on. Maybe V1 is stamped on them?

heads turned up yesterday..
bit disapointed, I thought they looked like they had larger valves, but they are standard.
Also, I would have thought if you spent money on a twin spark setup you would have had them ported as well...
And they have standard cams...

Oh well, not a big deal, still not a bad price for heads here in Oz. I'll probabaly clean em up re-shim and on sell!   [roll]

That's a bloody shame. I s'pose someone with a W head M900 or E900 might want them.
