The ultimate bling… but all looks and no performance… well nothing that couldn’t be achieved for a fraction of the cost another way.

Same can be said for the radial heads I believe. I was tempted for radial heads on my 400e Hybrid, but research suggested no performance gain, and a noisier top end, plus the cost meant I kept standard heads in the end Dusty  |

Perhaps “performance” isn’t enhanced, but if these heads faithfully follow Webco’s design and incorporates modern squish principles, the cooling benefit compared to stock alone would enhance longevity and economy at the least. Of course, real world comparison testing would be the only way to gauge if they offer more than visual bling. |

Regards the radial heads, as opposed to the Webco style Toroidial (or whatever they are called) heads, I read up on them on various forums. The US forums had a few guys that found that fitting the Radials didn't increase performance, but had great "bling" factor, and were noisier than standard heads- resonance between fins maybe ? For me, cost was the inhibiting factor more than a lack of performance gain. A 2 grand engine rebuild was bad enough, and I couldn't justify nearly 700 quid more on some blingy heads  Shame, coz they do look great  And economy - what's that !!  I never worried about economy on any of my strokers  Dusty |

Yep, cost is a factor- last time I priced original Webco’s they were over $500 two- 3 years ago…

Dont quote me but I think they are low output rajdoot bikes. They can be modified for uk spec, although im lead to belive there poor quality.
There is a guy making them in the US that are UK spec and better quality.
