David, you poor POGGER a continent away, you still haven't found any GEM reed setup yet?? Been like 3 years you've been looking? I feel bad... Keep your eyes open on Ebay USA. Once in awhile one comes up and gets bid to several hundred, next time one goes for $50.

Someone help this poor guy out. Good luck with it David.

David,
If functionality outweighs originality find some old CR 250 Honda cylinder and get handy with the grinder. Have a machinist butterfly cut the intake area and weld her up. I have a smaller version done with a CR80 reed block on one of my 6 days cylinders.

Thanks guys.
I have a line on a cylinder and gem complete, through the Marks Swapmeet at VintageMX . I'm waiting for a quote to post it here.

There were a few gems offered for sale by Wolfmanonapenton but they dissapeared mysteriously................;)
