What jet skis do they fit ?
Doesnt the kx250 have the same manifold pattern, just a smaller high velocity throat ,lowend type in a 500. Like these

What other options are there?

Is finding sets like this gonna be the next step to getting them?

I've had no luck on finding any too. Like you, I would like to hear one of the geniuses chime in.

Just some pics of 2 sets of kx250 vf2's I picked up
Heres you can see part of why vf2's are better, almost like a built in reed spacer
(http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj543/81cr450/DSCN4125_zpsab22234c.jpg)
Both of these vf2's were listed for kx250's but one would be better for lowend, particularly in a K5, "the narrower, smaller throated one anyway"
& the other looks like the K5 reeds to me , full width & a gaping maw. Both have DM08 on them, its the only part # I can see anyway

I still would like to get my hands on the jetski reeds too, but I'd need a definitive answer as to what ski. My pics kinda suck if you need better from a certain angle to clarify just holler

What about v force cages on snowmobiles?
-
Kawasaki sno-mobile? :-o
Actually you read my mind

Looks like it could :? maybe sorta fit with some coersion
-
the answer is on the site somewhere. I decoded what ski is the same once...

I know artic cat uses v force reeds. I'll have to look for the decoded section just mentioned
-
I'll be listing 6 or so VF2's for sale soon :wink:

Will these be the cages from the jet ski with kx500 reeds swapped onto them, or true VF2 for the KX500 direct from MT?
-
Well, I was messing with a Jet Ski motor this morning. It is a 750 with a reed valve. After reading the post about a jet ski reed fitting the KX5, I decided to pull one out and see if it fit. Yes it does. Not sure about anything except the bolt spacing and fitting into the case.

Motodad
I have done the same thing with the jetski reeds. I have a dead Kawasaki 750 motor in my garage currently
I decoded what ski is the same once...
I think any small pin Kawasaki 750 ski motor has the same reeds
-
decoded= 800/750 (carbon-tech HT)
KX250 manifold (rubber boot) is shorter (around'94) putting your carb in closer to the cylinder.
hope this solves some of your search time
-
anyone remember the rubberized reed cage Kawrider was messing with? not sure what it was out of, but I remember chatting with him quite a while ago before things went down hill.

I know this thread is more about the VF2 cage....but,for the fortunate ones like myself that have a VF2 cage, and for anyone that isn't aware of it...you can still get replacement VF2 reeds.The woman on the phone at Moto Tassinari only needed to know which of the two VF2 cage designs I had...they have the 2 finger reeds, and the 3 finger reeds.....and she said they plan to keep them stocked for quite a while.
If you have the 3 finger reeds(like mine), these are the ones to order...

$65 to my doorstep.....I didn't get the part# for the 2 finger....but it's just a phone call away.

whats the deal with the V force 2 reeds?
how are they better then stock, or the v force 3?
carbon tech??
since I'm in the market... figured i would ask

Go toward the bottom of page one and start from there.
You will see the difference.

Also, the dyno shows the 2's are superior.
