Re: 560cc Reed Vmax!!

Had the sled out last weekend for the first time. I haven't got the carbs or clutching straight yet but so far very pleased. It has a lot more bottom end then I thought and it just keeps on pulling. The jetting is close but still on the rich side, exhaust temps only about 1050 degrees. I know I can ...

Re: 560cc Reed Vmax!!

Re: 560cc Reed Vmax!!

Still have a little work to do on it, but hope to have running in a couple of weeks. Haven't had a lot of time to work on it lately, buzy with other things. Will update when I get it finished and running.

Re: 560cc Reed Vmax!!

Have had a little time lately to work on this. I have a little more machine work to do and then I should be ready for a trial assembly. Here are a few more pictures. Added some ports to the intake, polished the exhaust port and increased the boost hole in the piston. Had to widen the head 25mm, and ...

44MM Mikuni's

Looking for jetting specs for the 44mm powerjet carbs that Aaen and Reichards sold back in the day. I have a set I am setting up and would like to know what they ran so I can get them close with out burning it down. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks
