I can't remember seeing any type of aftermarket head for the big bores yzhilly. I posted this question on a popular US forum looking for a trick rm400 head but the answer simply came back..'there were none'  :-\

webco made them for 250 and 360 & 400 cc yamahas. T&M made them for 250's, DG made them for RM 500 and CR 480  and CR 250's plus theres more!. i initially thought there wasnt much in the way of heads for bikes over 175 but when i did more research i found out that wasnt true
but yes ive never seen on know of one for a RM 400
Wanted - 1978 TS185 frame or frame&motor. Frame # TS1852-24007 up to TS1852-39022

i dont know. ive got DG ads in magazines around 83/84 listing them for RM 500 and CR 480. if you want to know ask Scott at www.vintagefactory.com he will know. They must of made them for some time onwards as Firko said Vintage Iron in USA had a huge amount of them still in about 1990
