Advice on repairing my heads
These heads have Baisley Pro Street Performance head work. I have cracks in the same location on each head. One is worse then the other. I have over 4k in the head work. Really don't wanna drop another 4 or 5k in em. Opinions on having them repaired? Had em chemically stripped to get them powder coated and show cut and found the cracks. Wrecked this bike BAD 4 years ago. Spent 10k since getting all new everything. Including a new Baker OD 6. I have a 60mm throttle body, Scorpion clutch, Woods 68g cam with gear drive, 6.2 injectors, RB Racing Challenge Drag Racing Exhaust,
Woods everything in the top end. Screaming Eagle forged rocker plates (snapped the original)...It's built strong af to run hard. TC 88 stroker welded to true. Axtell Mountain motor 117 with JE 20 degree 4.125 12 to 1 stroker pistons. This **** hunts. Well it did....I'll get new heads and have em done up if I have to. But I'd rather save 4k lol. Lookin for advice on getting them repaired if possible. Ty for lookin....btw...1st and 3rd photo is top and bottom of 1 head. 2nd photo is the other. It's not as bad as the other.

+1 on chuck 'em. You could get them welded up but then you get distortion, and you will have to get new seats installed anyway and recut the plug threads. And then they will probably crack there again. New heads from S&S might be an easier way to go. (But certainly not cheaper! If you want cheap, get 'em welded and remachined and keep your fingers crossed. I find it hard to ride with my fingers crossed though.)
