    Yoshi head kit

    I'm in the process of building a 1970 Z50A which will be tricked up, I've got a manual Honda 4 speed Z50 engine I'm putting in
    but I want to fit a good quality bore up kit. I like to play outside the box & like to be different so a Takegawa +R head kit will
    be off the list (although top quality everyone seems to have them in the UK)
    The only other option I fancy is the Yoshimura head kit, anyone got this kit fitted? whats score with them good or bad?
    Any info appreciated.

    Thanks for the link but they are very very expensive, I can get those parts hundreds of ££££'s cheaper

    I only know them from hearsay, the Yoshi is supposed to be one of the best heads for smaller displacements, especially in combination with the Yoshi-Mikuni carb.
    Just out of curiosity: where would you get it so much cheaper (and how much would it be) ?

    The kit is all NEW in boxes. Haven't really thought about the selling price. Shoot me an offer and I will consider. Thanks.
