I'm looking into putting reeds on my 66cc. I've read about the kits that are available and the threads of this forum in which people have used reeds off of something else, like a chainsaw. The kits advalable are more than I want to spend, so I'm looking up other reeds. I'm aware of the porting/cylinder mods needed to fully take advantage of the reeds. These are some that I have found.

Polaris Sportsman (looks about like the Minarelli)

Malossi Piaggio (too high in price for me, but it looks about like the one used in rocksolid's kit. Maybe find used one? )

Any suggestions on what other reeds would be about the right size or in general are appreciated.
