    I'm trying to find stainless valves for my SMR. Has anyone done it and what are your experiences after titanium? Have you also changed the valve springs?

    I would also appreciate if someone is having knowledge which parts are in general the same between model years 2005 - 2007 and 2008 - 2010?

    I can find Kibblewhite valves and they state those to fit 06-08 but I guess the page refers to models between 2005 - 2007?

    I changed mine to stainless this winter and did the springs and keepers too. Also had the head machined to make sure all would match up well. The titanium valves were caput after 300 hours. I bought my valves from halls and am always happy with their service. I would call them up!
