GS1000 One Piece Stainless Valves - Dragbike guys or anyone

[Hoomgar]

I am posting this in here because my gut tells me you drag bike guys will have the answer. I need a set of one piece stainless (or whatever they make them out of) intake and exhaust valves for a 1980 GS1000 head.

The mods made to the motor will separate the two piece stock valves I am told so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. We can't find any and my motor is at a stall without them

Thanks guys.

Thx Ryan, there were two others we tried that used to make them and they don't anymore. Can't remember the names? Something that sounded like Fiory and one that was with an N. I'll ask Joe again tomorrow.

I'll call Ape. Thx

Mark,
I've got Orient Express SS valves in my 1000S.
About 6-7 years now, not a drag bike, daily rider.
No problems.
They were actually cheaper than the OEM valves
With the 3 angle valve job, it breathes better
I did new valve springs also, again from Orient Express.

If anyone could help me. I thought all valves were one piece, at least I've never seen two piece valves. Are we talking valves or valve keepers here?

Valves Steve. The valves in these engines are two pieces put together. At least on the two valve engines they are. I am not sure about the 4 valve motors.

Thx for the info guys. I will be checking out Orient Express for sure Keith. Were those stock size valves? Not enlarged right? I need stock size.

A two piece valve means the head and the stem were made seperately and joined, as I am sure you can imagine much cheaper to make. Almost all stock valves were two piece until the mid eighties.

We don't have valves for the 1000 2 valve motors. We can make them from blanks if necessary.

Good prices on valves. Not sure if they have the 2 valve stuff or not.
