Try CT Racing

Rage does that as well.

ok thanks guys i will check them out.

I wouldnt replace the stock seats right after you get the bike. Let them wear out first. I would only switch to copper seats if you run Ti valves, they will transfer heat better, and wont beat up the Ti as fast.

Xceldyne and kibblewhite sell them, you have to find a machine shop that works with them!!!! Or go to DASA , Rage and I'm sure Racers Edge........they'll take care of you!!!!!

Racers Edge has the BEST valve cutting machine on the market!!!!!

ok thanks for the info. i guna buy a used trx for real cheap then rebuildin the whole motor. webcam,springs etc,+2 valves,cp big bore,port job,hotrod stroker and the usual bolt ons.

those look great. does u guys just do the intake seats or the exhaust as well. how much do they go for per seat? and are they worth it. and they are only for ti valves rite? not stainless

We (ATP) have a brand new Serdi 3.0. We do not have to ship out our heads for seat and guide work. All work is done in house. We use Xceldyne valve train components on all the 450cc engines and have since the day they became available. We are not limited to the LTR.

Also, If you like your LTR, we do have a carb kit for it. It will eliminate the FI and we have it for both the kick start and for the electric start models.

Awesome! there are some builders who wont even do a valve job for you if you don't buy their complete package! Awesome that no job is too small for some of you , and apparently no job is too big either. Bad seats, bad guides, no problem!

I have witnessed lately how Trent Powell's tmm Honda runs..... awesome to say the least

almost any local machine shop can install seats......of any nature....

CB has many advantages when running Ti valves.....but I would not recommend them if your gonna keep the SS valves....

right now you have SS seats...which will last for a LONG time..... but, they tend to wear out (cup) the softer Ti valve faces...... this is where CB comes in to play.......

just so ya know.....they are nice to have....but nothing I myself would consider 'necessary'......

I believe the rider you are referring to is a rider for TMM "Tom Miller Motorsports". The pics that guy posted were not of the well known builder TMM's work.

Those heads were done thru a local shop called TM Motorsports.
