Big Jay input please

I thought I read where APE is moving. I have some parts I placed on order with them six weeks ago. You may be waiting a while if you go this route. You may want to check with Kevin at FBG.

Our shipping department will only be down four days because of the move.

I would stick with stainless valves. Titanium valves need bronze seats. They increase RPM range by 500 to 800 RPM. No real advantage on a street bike.

We are the leading supplier of this cylinder head stuff, so If we can be of help, please e-mail sales@aperaceparts.com

I had a friend that put the titanium valves in his busa 8.20 bike. It slowed right down. He took them back out and put the stainless back in. I think I would stay with stainless.

Please explain how titanium valves would slow a bike down.

Bronze seats aint a problem, I work in an engine re-conditioners now.
Will/could/should titanium valves be of any real advantage? i.e. longevity? reduced stress? more available power?

BTW I tried to talk to FBG and got an email reply to call them. Do 1800 phone numbers work on an international call??
