Dave Dunlop flow tested them all against each other with the B12 flowing the best. 

Ooh that's interesting, Do you happen to know if he included the 750 Dot head from the shortstroke motor in the flow tests also?

Apparently yes.

Was not loopie who flow tested them.  Both Roger Upperton and Paul Cumpstone have flow tested them, and both came to the same result. 
this was done a few years ago when we were building my lads 1340 nitrous bandit.  In the end we used a shim head, simply for the fact of bigger valves and better flow.

And they go / flow even better with 30/26's in them :tuM & N heads universally accepted as best stock flowing heads, its just no one trusts the shims (which on a relatively low revving, peak power 'big' engine shouldn't be an issue). Question - why would Suzuki san put the 'best' flowing head on the most under performing engine in its line-up?

No tooling changes.... put some wussie cams in and 4mm smaller carbs makes a great torquey tourer.......All out of parts bins.... genius.....
