shaved head

[kell2784]

no, not bald.

I'm also looking for info on shaving the heads on my 01 summit 800 .010".
Any input on this? I have done no other mods, and plan on some v-force reeds at the same time.
Will I have to stick with 92 oct. and higher with a shaved head?

Thanks

yes with a shaved head you would run a higher octane

Should I upgrade my pistons at the same time the new head is installed?

well my friend put shaved heads on his indy 650 with just reguar pistons but he burnt the one piston due to bad gas

You will definitely have to run atleast premium.. Especially if you ride it down here... Why do you want to shave the head?
