I believe it's a head off of a BMW K1000.
Just did a search for "BMW" and couldn't find any posts explaining what this is

Could someone point me to the post I probably missed?

Thanks

Has anybody here done one?

Wow!



Thanks!
That's almost got me sold. Good grief. Didn't know that was possible.

It sure helps with the horsepower and torque. Am I correct in presuming that as you have a relatively modern ECU operating that there's at least a nominal improvement in fuel economy and emissions?

This conversion is NOT cheap as there is a lot of maching of block and its approx £3-4000 .............MiniMagazine had an article on this conversion earlier this year...........

 

I have a K1100 head that I'm hoping to use for the conversion whenever I get the time. There are a couple different heads that will work some 2 valve per cylinder and others 4, the one I have is 4. There is quite a lot to it but I looked into Jack Knight and KAD twin cam conversions and this was closer to my budget.

 

Well a Jack Knight or KAD head conversion is cheaper then a BMW head as these do not need oil and water ways to be altered they just bolt straight on to a 1275-1380 block.......job done............

 

Good point, though I haven't found a reasonably priced unit compared to what I spent for the BMW head and the machine work is no problem since I have access to machine shop. It's been a while since I've seen a KAD or JK in the States, any idea what you can get one for now days?

 

this is KADs road head....... £3300

this is race head......... £3800
