honestly for the longest time I thought steve did mostly sxr and race stuff. I just recently started lookin into kommander at the advice of randy at watcon. Their billet and machine work is some of the best I've ever seen. They also have a new billet 1 piece girdled head that looks bad ass. Maybe ross can post a pic of it?
The new one piece head is pretty cool...but I'm 300 miles away from his shop, and don't seem to have a good picture on this computer.
In the beginning Steve was the one that got Blowsion in to the billet business and he did all of their motor work, but the past couple of years they have done their own for the most part, he still does some billet work for them from time to time. Steve also still does motors for me and Darin. He is probably best known for his racing boats and motors, but that is by no means all he does.
IMO, and this is only my opinion and maybe is just because of my riding style. But a freeride and a freestyle port job are two very different things. A good freeride port job (for me) should have power characteristics that are basically a mix of a race and a freestyle motor. I want the power to come on hard where I need it which is not right off the bottom, but closer to the middle of the RPM range. Then it needs to really pull hard through the middle upper part of the revs. That is the way to get the height you are after in freeride. And I like it a little softer and more progressive right off the bottom because I feel like that gives me more control in critical sections.
Anyway...my input for what it is worth.
