250-500cc Top end rebuild questions

I'm starting my first top end job on a Husky now. I was wondering what most people are using for gaskets, stock or is anything available from the aftermarket. Also My bike has the V-Force 2 and the reeds are starting to crack. Is there any value in changing to the V-Force 3? Thanks!

cant comment on your rebuild questions, but where are you located? theres a few huskies just over the border here

I believe athena makes a gasket kit for the huskys. I've found it easier to buy gaskets through husky dealers.

As far as a performance standpoint, I doubt it on the reeds. You might get a bit more top end. However, I liked the adjustability of the vforce 2 system. Having the brackets flipped for more bottom/mid made a decent difference.

If your still running the stock mikuni, I would opt for a powernow in place of swapping to a vforce 3. I noticed after installing a lectron I had the same gains as the powernow valve however. If your interested in that I can't remember the year, but a honda cr250 powernow fits the mikuni.

I live in the Cleveland area...

sounds good, im a ways away. right where 79 and 80 intersect...will have to ride next year

Yeah cool, do you ever ride Hillsville?

it has been a long time, but around 10 years ago i was out there maybe a half dozen times...i rode at 846 bayview public riding grounds and still ride there nowover by transfer pa. its free and about 200 acres. a bunch of single track, quad trails, and some moderate hillclimbing in the woods...nothing very had tho..

Well, I ordered a V Force 3 and it turns out I have one of the "old" cylinders which does not fit a "3". So I'll be ordering replacement reeds for the V2.
