Cylinder head work

Moto Guzzi V700, V7 Special, Ambassador, 850 GT, 850 GT California, Eldorado, and 850 California Police models

The listings here should be considered good places to get solid work done on cylinder heads at a reasonable price. However, they should not be considered the top-of-the-line, used by go-fast-racers everywhere, best of the best. If you are looking to squeeze every bit out of your engine, want to have your heads ported, and have the best of the best done, then you need to contact Mike Rich Motorsports. Mike Rich is fantastic. This isn't to say that the folks listed below aren't qualified. They are and I've used them and been happy with them. I mention this only because I don't want you to expect these guys to give you top-shelf heads for bottom basement pricing. They'll do a basic service (valves, guides, grind, shim for spring pressure, etc) and send you on your way without a lot missing from your wallet.

If you don't live near one of the shops I list below, you should probably find somebody local. There are good machinists everywhere and there is really no reason to ship your stuff across the country just because I mention that they've done good work for me. If you own an older machine, you are going to need a machinist. Best to find one local that you trust.

Arizona

Now that I live in Arizona, I've been using PB Machine Auto Machine & Supply. Knowledgeable guys with fair prices...and they know their way around a motorcycle. Ask owner Paul Bylbie about setting motorcycle speed records at Bonneville on his first trip!

When I lived in Minnesota, I had Dick Snyder work on my heads. He did a great job and charged a very reasonable rate.
