I appreciate you're probably looking for someone closer, but Craig & Jeremey at Regal Automotive in Tauranga wouldn't dissapoint.
They have done some of those heads for me, plus a pile of other trade work for my garage over many years.

Will give them a ring. As im sure you apreciate theres a few things with aircooled heads that are done differently to water cooled heads so finding someone with this experience in nz is not that easy

I'd love to hear what you consider the differences between air and water cooled heads....

Other than the cooling.

@OP. you're listed as northland. i'll tell you about whangarei. mike's heads, while not specialising in bikes (at all), know the blunt end of a spanner from the other one.
don's does not.
greg? gary? brian? dave? whatever the fuck his name at motorcycle labs would be able to point you the right way as well. and while i have no complaints of shaws or rouses, not sure i'd be giving them a bimmer.
