I have a 93, and going through it, one of the white fiberglass reeds has a small chip out of one of the far corners. I imagine I should replace them even though the bike was running well. From what I know, its the stock reed block & cage... what are my options for replacing just the reeds? I can't seem to figure it out...
When I search here, I'm only finding conversations around swapping to an aftermarket Boysen or VForce setup, which I don't care to do unless that is truly the only option.
Thanks for the help!
Which Reeds?

OEM Kawasaki p/n 12022-1063, they are available online at about $22 a piece (you need 2). Aftermarket Boyeson Power reeds (my fav) and super stock fibers are available and cheaper than OEM. Both use the stock cage.

Re: Which Reeds?
How many chips would you like for the engine to digest? :-) Just kidding.
The Boyesen number used to be 607. I would switch to Boyesen if those are stock. (just for a touch better performance). Durability will be good with them.
I am talking about just the reeds, not a whole cage with reeds like the Boyesen Rad Valve or Moto Tassinari VForce 3.

Re: Which Reeds?
Thanks guys. I went to boyesen's site and ordered direct as I wasn't having much luck with them on pzilla/bbandit, etc. I did the super stock fibers which were 014 I believe.
Thanks again for the help!

Re: Which Reeds?
Good job! Please report back on how the shipping timeline is please. I see more companies offering direct sales. Also, if you could report on the performance. I used to read that the nylon / fiberglass / whatever ones are better at low end and carbon fiber better at high end.

The shipping timeline seems pretty fast! I ordered the SUPER STOCK carbon REEDS straight from Boyesen yesterday morning and just got the shipping notification email today.
