colors

i got the valves. made them from harley sportster's ones. cut the stems shorter, made retainer groove and hardened. because they had different material between exhaust and intake, my moriwaki friend had to apply 2 different hardening methods which made different colors.
i tried to fit the valves to my xr1000 engine yesterday, and found out that i need to cut or replace the valve seats for intakes... i shouldve done it before i sent the valves to moriwaki. oh, well, at least i got new valves now.
