    Not sure why, I think I used Google photos for that one? It's a really nicely done, clean custom Titan 500.

    Several sets of Crooks heads made it to the US and Canada early in this century. I had at least two sets, Eric Kalamaja had several, a guy in Ohio purchased some and I know that Kevin Fletcher (who owned a super trick Seeley framed TR 500 replica with a six speed gear box and a modified GT750 crank) had a couple sets as well. They are worlds above the stock head, although I did manage to crack one.

    As far as the crankcase stuffers go, I ran a lightened crank with stuffers for one season, but Kevin kept urging me to take them out and "bury them in the backyard for some archaeologist to find". I finally gave in and removed them. The bike ran better over the entire rev range and made more power. YMMV.
