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...?
Regards,
James

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

I think I have a spare set in the loft, I will have a look later to see if they are ok.

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 shops

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