Permission to sell performance parts.

I want to find out from the forum management/administrators if they would allow me to sell performance parts for the XT660 via this forum.

Over the years, I have invested a lot of time in having special parts made up for the Raptor 700's and a lot of it will fit the XT's motor.

One of the neat things that I have had made up is special high flow stainless steel valves. I can make any valve size from stock to 2mm oversize and they are lighter than the stock valves. These valves can also be cross flowed, polished and undercut to improve flow even further. All of these valves are CNC cut to exact sizes.

Then, to compliment the valves, I can have special Phosphor bonze valve guides made up. These guides are far more resistant to valve guide seize and they claim that these new guides conduct up to 88% more heat than the stock guides.

Then, if I look at the price Off-the Road charges for porting or gasflowing a head, I can provide the same service, plus a bunch more for a better price. For example I can have a used head stripped, cleaned, ported, valve seats cut, new guides, plus 4 new performance steel valves installed, new valve stem seals and fully assembled for less than what they charge to port the head alone. Basically, you take the head off the bike, pack it, send it to me, I do my thing and send it back to you, fully assembled, valve clearance set, ready to be installed. So you save a bunch on labor, plus you get so much more.

If you want just the basics (stripping, cleaning, porting, valve seats cut and fully assembled) and not get new valves and guides, then the price is way cheaper.

Also, things like re-nikasil of the sleeve might be cheaper for me to do that what you can get it done where you are. The guys I use can even repair badly scared sleeves and repair them so they will be able to take a stock piston again, without going oversize on the bore.

I can even go as far as putting a whole performance package together for the guys. Starting with a stock XT bore and stroke setup, but increased compression, with the ported head, with or without the above mentioned head configurations, with any stock to 2mm oversize valves, and all the owner does is pull of the head, and barrel, send it to me, and I will send you the gaskets, cam, piston and all the rest, ready for assembly. I will even go as far as install the piston and rings for you if you like...lol.

Would this be allowed and if so, would there be any interest in this?
