Looking for valves

[EvanM]

So, I'm replacing the valves on my Breva 1100. I have the intakes sourced via Harpers, but the exhausts are back ordered with no eta as of Friday. Does anyone know where I can try and grab 2 exhaust valves sooner than later? I have tried MG cycle and Moto International as well.

Thanks,
Evan

No go at TLM, Stein Dinse has them, but I'm in no way willing to pay close to $250 to get them here.

Joe Wish in Ohio, Ed Milich or Todd Eagan in CA....?

I had tried Ed, but he kind of brashly informed me he does not really do stock anything, though I could send him my heads/whole engine for some work.
I also never thought of giving Todd a try. I'll shoot an email his way.
Thanks

Just gave them a call. They're going to check and give me a call back.
Thanks Matt!

HMB Guzzi?

57.50 Euro for the valves, another 50 Euro for shipping to Canada though.

Another thought - check with Fast by Ferracci. They have a bunch of different Guzzi valves on eBay, maybe one of them is suitable for a Breva or maybe they have originals in stock.

There is nothing magical about valves.  I used to cut down saab valves for my loops.  You should be able to use any valve of the right material and basic dimensions (head and stem diameter).  You might have to shorten the stem and add keeper grooves.

How bad are the ones you have? :PICS!:

[EvanM]

They aren't too bad, but I was thinking for $22 each, while I have the heads and cylinders off, and am putting in K-lines, I may as well replace them.
Looks as though I may just re cut the exhausts then.
