Go for it..great deal for 7K. :old2: A lot of guys talk as if TP heads are a time bomb, but ive heard they are solid.
TP's on the 117 will leak in time...and worse, one bad thing about the '06.. But ride it until they do, the do the replacement... Throw in a .585 cam when ya do that. :old2:
 
That is a steal. I have a 2007 with custom paint (small ghost flames), I was offered a year ago $11,500 and I say Hell No!...These bikes are sweet, unique and hard to find.

So the 06 heads are TP and not S&S . ???? What is the story behind that ?
'06 was not all tp. tp is flat topped with 4 allen screws, S&S are sculpted with 6 allen screws. the geometry of the tp rockers is a little different than the S&S so they just don't work/last as well. S&S motor should have S&S rockers.

The heads have the S&S cast on them , safe to assume they are S&S and not TP ??
