In order, we've got NWS, SDN, Dixonj, duno who & Gix ;)

Never seen or heard of a member owning an ex battle of the twins TRX... Some trick bits & looks kinda cool though bar the rear end & the fact that I'm not a fan of TRX figthers in general :lol:
I think that should be NWS, SDN, one Jon Coote,Dixonj and Gix.

They are all very good looking bikes and a credit to their owners/creators,but,for modified bikes wearing 41Fcrs, I can hardly believe that only one had received extensive headwork :( .


Mark.
Probably get round to it at some point as I do have a spare head and could get a Kent grind on the cams, just need someone to port the head - any suggestions?

I always do my own. Probably mostly for the satisfaction of doing it myself. It really isn't difficult but has taken a long time to learn and practice the techniques involved.

These are some of the books I refer to time and again.

My own Trx has taken a back seat lately due to spending a lot of time working with my son on his Fzr600 including porting the head :lol:

Image.

Think perhaps it's something I might like to do (semi) professionally when I retire (in just under just under 10 years :lol:).At the moment I just don't seem to be able to find the time to all things I want to do for myself.
Sorry I can't be more helpful in recommending someone to do heads.

Love all the bikes featured by the way.

Mark.

Edit: that looks very good Mark. Noticed the gloves, very professional! 8)
I've owned a FZR600 too.

Just picked that lastest copy of PS up from Asda, good read as usual, great to see TRXs being featured. All nice bikes but the 2 faired ones are my favs.
