Monster front cylinder head wanted!

[mark forsyth]

Hope someone can help.

Looking for a secondhand 750 Monster front cylinder head for an F2 Harris we're building. Plan is to fit the front head to the rear cylinder for the authentic forward-facing exhaust port. Has anyone ever attempted this mod? Does anyone have a spare head? Does the pope have a balcony?

All help and assistance gratefully received.

It'll look pretty stupid with the fins vertical.
I'd look for a proper pantah head myself ... oh ! I have one already :)

You scared me then Mark, I thought for a minute you were coming racing in DD

I just had a 30 something nostalgia overload!


Please come and race in DD Mark. It'd be a gaaaass!

Ah yes. Doh! My engine turned up this afternoon in a big cardboard box from breakers and, yes, Phil H, I'd agree it'd look pretty dumb with the fins in the wrong plane. I was asking the wrong question based on the wrong information from the wrong person.
Watcha want for your Pantah head? I guess I'm going to have to re-machine squish and fit Monster 750 sized valves...are the studs and oil ways identical?
DesmoDue racing? Too fast for me. Might see y'all on a track day when the TT2's running though...

Thanks Dseered, will give it a try. Owt to get the price down!

Got a few race contacts to try as well, now I know what I'm looking for. Are NCR dry clutch kits as rare as I suspect? Is anyone making making replicas? Other wants/needs are a pair of Del' Orto pumpers and a white-faced Veglia tacho. As you can tell, this project has just started now the old one has been sold...

Nice one mark !!! I better take the TT1 out with ya then ;)

Good work Hawk.

That's last-orders' talk.

It all hinges on a Pantah rear cylinder-head.

No head. No action.

Err.

Have I seen a T-shirt with that slogan?

My rear pantah head is fitted to my harris tt2 ...
There are a couple running in the classic racing mc.

I have a contact number for one guy if I can only remember where it is !
Paul Klatiewitz in yorkshire could also be helpful, and I'll dig out his contact details, but I think he does have a small website.
John Wittman is not normally very helpful.
John Fallon at mdina italia may help www.mdinaitalia.co.uk
