Am looking to get a malossi 172 kit for my T5. Looking for somewhere to reprofile a 125 head to suit this kit. Have seen Beedspeed do this but am looking for somewhere that is recommended rather than first place I see.

Can any one recommend somewhere to get this done as never done this before with contact details etc.

Cheers

Bruce

20 years ago, my friends father turned out my T5 head, as it was centre plug, he put an old plug in then nipped it up in his lathe, then took a couple of mm from the sealing face to ensure it cleared the piston. Worked perfectly.
