A close cousin of mine(with money) had a heavily built Kawasaki 500 MC. It was the just about the scariest thing I ever threw a leg over. I think it had like 75HP. It was friggin explosive and just about unridable.

i don't necessarily recommend it, but i managed to fit my 650 head in a USPS flat-rate box and mailed it to him for $8. i just wrapped it in bubble wrap and crammed it in. definitely a gamble if some postal worker decides to try and play football with your package though...

i dont think i will get my head to mike from th uk for $8, its more like £50!!
im definately going to send my head to mike, but as for the cam, people have recommended to send it to web or megacycle. is there anything to stop me getting my cam reground to the same specs as the meagacycle one for the 550 here in the uk to try and save any money??
