Hello all. Going to big bore to 1216cc. Is it worth putting big valves 26 ex 30 in I think while everything is apart? Taking head to machine shop anyway. Putting 38 mikuni flatslides on. 12-1 compression. Road bike. Would just like to know pros and cons please before I go down that route. Thanks Alex.

I'd go for a flow job first, then big valves but ever way with big bore, cams and carbs it will benefit.

Your going to have to port it to some extent (beyond port matching the intakes) if you have bigger valves fitted ,if you don't open up and blend the bowls into the seats then you'll never see the potential of the bigger valves ( a set of valves from kibblewhite  or ferrea is close to £800 ) or your investment
