I know. It seems as though all the stock heads aren't the best looking. Most do their job though. Some don't. It might have something to do with keeping prices down. It gives us the option to buy an upgraded head. I don't think people would be happy if they had to spend an extra $50 for an engine, kit, rtr. Especially for those who don't even buy them. It can't even be a ploy to get extra money out of you being that most upgraded heads aren't even made by the same company.
