Had been 1 or 2 on here for sale lately. Would be a good time to upgrade if money allows!!
On a side note did you ever get the splitter installed?

Core alone is $400 or $450 (don't remember) so $650 would be ok for a fresh one, I guess it just depends on your trust level. -

I fitted a used S head with no issues. The S head has better exhaust valves. Got it from Ebay UK for $90 complete with cam , it had done 20,000miles, the reason for the sale was he swapped it for a ported head. My company paid for the shipping so it was a bargain.

The r50 and the r53 are the same with the exception that the r53 has a higher quality valve for the SC, but they both 100% interchange!!
Upgrade?? see Thumper Performance | The OTHER MINI Head! TPR1
OR Ebay US had a rebuild from Dover for sale for $650.00 I believe. I called them and they only had 6 of these.. so check EBAY out.
Another source IS Ebay.co.uk. Shipping TO the US is around $180.00
Hope this helps.. Ya??
Just me.................................
