Okay guys well Im about to pull the heads off my bike for powdercoating. I read a thread here that talked about the importance of proper installation for the front motor mount including new grade 9 bolts. Anyways, if I swap to a billet front motor mount should I take the heads by a machine shop and have the mating surfaces trued to match up? If so, how much would something like that cost?

If I dont replace the motor mount I am thinking of just taping off the motor mount when I powdercoat it or having the whole thing done black so I dont have to worry about any problems with it mating back up right.


Thanks,
Spencer

Mating is nice, but should not be necessary. New hardware and correct torque specs are most important. Also, it's a good time to replace the front isolator to the recall style (if not done already).

The billet looks real nice, but I just powdered mine black..

Unless you broke the head I would just check with a straight edge and you should be fine.

Do you still need an orange tail section?
