Title: Reed peddles

I have an old DH reed cage, and was wondering if there is a source for new reed peddles to replace the old ones. The newer carbon fiber ones I hear work better. Anyone have a source for replacement reed valve peddles?

Thanks.

Lloyd

Lloyd, if you haven't already, put the old reed on the xerox machine, make a copy and mark down the dimensions, fax it off to Boyesen and they'll match it up or make it for you. Will also advise you on dual petal options. Went through the same for a D&H on a Husky and the tech there came through with colors.

Mike, Jon:

Thanks for the suggestions.

I emailed Boyesen on Wednesday and have not received a response yet. I will try again later today.

Mike, Jon:
Thanks again. Just received email response from Boyesen. They requested I send tracing or photocopy of reed petals and they will see if they have a boyesen reed that will fit. They also indicated that they sell bulk fiber glass reed material at $2 per square inch plus shipping.

Again, thanks for the suggestions.
