That looks like a G.E.M. reed valve to me, but I could be wrong. They pop up on eBay from time to time. The setup below is way better, and probably way more $$. http://richstaylordporting.com/intake.html Ray |

That looks like a DH reed kit. If you're installing from scratch, I'm sure you're aware there's a lot of work involved to correctly install this kit (intake passage mods, adding piston-skirt windows, boost port cut, etc.). If you're going to go to all that trouble anyway I'd suggest using a modern reed assembly instead, but that's just my opinion. On page 2 of the .pdf link below is a DH installation diagram for the Hodaka 125, which gives a general idea of what's required. http://www.strictlyhodaka.com/v/vspfiles/assets/RV.pdf Ray |

Top oneis a GEM (that pic is of my old one actually) the bottom is a DH. Don't forget you WILL need to put some holes in the piston for any reed to work. I have the diagram for a 123 somewhere if you need I will look for it. |
