aye but unfortunately it's a rear and i dont think theyre interchangeable.

Valves are the same on both heads, so if you've bent the front ones the valves swap straight over.
The heads aren't interchangeable, but the components are, including cams, shims, buckets, springs, etc. It's just the castings that are machined differently, for the CCT's.

its a front cylinder head

[tony.mon]

That's from an Sp1 or Sp2, surely?
Look at the gears on the end of the camshafts- they're not sprockets, and have the anti-backlash split gears on......
I don't know if it's a front or rear, though, without one to compare it to.

But also see the spark plug position; it's different from a Storm one.

But I do have a genuine Storm rear head with good valves for £40 if anyone needs one....No cams, but use your own.

(I could sort out some cams if yours are unfit for use, though, but they'd be extra; I have them set aside for a regrind at some point).

well spotted tony - they are indeed gears and not firestorm sprockets.

Anyone thinking of buying it needs to clarify whats going on with the seller. He does state in the description that it's a front head for a VTR1000 99, however he also states he wanted an SP1 version. Possibly he has stuck the wrong photo on? Anyway, should all be rectified with an e-mail or phone call. However with Tony offering up all the bits needed, that seems to be the route to take.
