XLR Exhaust Valves



Stainless exhaust valves with chromed stems with "tulip" shape.  Back in the 70s when you sent your ironheads to Jerry Branch for porting & polishing . . . they came back with these valves in them.  (and a 4 digit number stamped on the bottom of the head for identification).  1 3/4" head.   Quality constructed - and just cool.
