Re: Reed petals
The part number 12022-1057 is shown discontinued. Can you use Boyesen petals? If so, I think Boyesen numbers 607 and/or 639 will fit the standard reed block. Boyesen also makes a less expensive "Superstock" single-stage reed which will also fit - SSF or SSC 014 I think...?

James

Re: Reed petals

corner missing on one i'm afraid Bernie, otherwise tension and seal looked good on the other petals.

Re: Reed petals
I think KX125 reed petals may fit, but not sure of this.

Re: Reed petals
Throw VF2's in from a KDX 200 or better still Boyensen RAD valves. If you want to use the standard cage (really good OEM cage/stuffer BTW) you can buy Polini or Malossi blank petal material and cut your own reeds. Blank material is available from scooter shopsgangus wrote:what does everyone use these days?

It would depend on material, but I'm certain we are all talking cf
