I have all winter to get my heads properly flowed on my 03 RC. After reading about heads, it appears the 2006 heads are significantly better thean the 03. When doing a head job, does anyone know if you can garner more performance from a set of ported 06's or does it matter? I imagine used 06 heads are not too hard to find.

 

It is easier to start with the later model heads, but in the hands of a skilled cylinder head shop, it really does not matter.

I have a set of 2007 heads and jugs from my 96 SG that were never used as I had the HD 110 kit installed b4 I took delivery of the bike I would be willing to part with. If you want them and plan on getting them ported I could even drop them at R+R for you for the work as they are only bout 20 minutes from me.you would only have to work out what you want done and pay them for work + shipping back to you. PM me if interested and I'll talk price. I'd sell them together or split em up. Saves the down time of sending out your heads

 

I think youre on the wrong forum if you want to talk about "doing a head job".

 

A "good" set of ported heads, will help cool the engine, increase the VE, and allow smoother running as well.
Each and every head that comes thru our shop hits the flow bench at least twice to insure that both front/rear flow almost mirror images of one another, from .100" to .600" lift(and more), along with compression being optimized for the cam that is being used.
Each and every set is basically custom tailored for the specific application.
Top quality component parts are used with brand names such as Kibblewhite, Fererea, AV&V, Crane, PSI, etc.
We do not skimp on this, even though we could, and have a higher level of profit.
NOT MANY outfit can lay claim to this.
Skilled American craftsman still at work here as well.
