I recently changed heads on my Atlas. I had a commando head on it because it allows a much better head steady, custom made. The head finally needed a lot of attention so I used a standard Atlas head I had on the shelf. It works very well but no head steady, long gone. The original is pretty flimsy anyway. I spent a fair amount of money and time years ago balancing the motor, installing a single Mikuni and a Boyer. Very happy with the results. So......remove one of the elements and see what happens. It now shakes so much I wouldn't dream of taking it to 5000. The point of this is to recognize how vital the head steady is. I hope I can achieve the same results using the Atlas head.
