Anyone got one available for an '82 CB650sc Nighthawk?

I would like to have everything rebuilt and ready to go so I don't have much downtime on the bike.

Oh, it's got weepy valve stem seals. And I have weak spark plug threads on #1.

I would rather just get a new head and rebuild it off the bike, then take a day and rebuild the top end with a quick swap-out. Already got new valves and seals for it!

I see. But be aware that it might be difficult to get a head with all cover bolt threads intact. Otherwise you won't gain much against re-working the #1 spark plug thread. Also you will have to lap the new valves. But you are right, you can do all this while your bike ist still ready for a ride. 8)

And I've drilled heli coils on those little bolts before... they're no biggie!
