    Hi,I just spoke to Steve at V-Force. I am sending my stock Husky 83-250 reed cage to him to see if he can find a useable V Force cage to work in these bikes. Would anyone be interested in buying 1 ? I will probaly have to purchase 10 units from him.
    Thank you
    Bil
    BTW. He used to have a 1980 125 Husky CRl

    Put me down for one to go on the '83 250CR. I wonder how the V-Force would compare to the Mossbacher on earlier models ?

    Rhett, Not sure. I have a new Mossbarger on its way. I will post pictures of it when it arrives. I hope we can get V-Force to work. I use them on all the Reed Valve Maicos..:applause:

    He is the picture of a 83 Mossbarger 250 reed cage that arrived today. Looks pretty good. Pictured on right is a stock cage, mossbarger ans a V force. i noticed the Mossbarger is about a half inch narrower then stock and the pedals are at different angles...

    If they make one fit the '83 250 it'll fit the '83+ 500

    I am thinking if V Force has the cage, but not the manifold, i may make a few manifolds from aluminum to be able to use the V-force Reed. My picture of the V-force shows the cage removed from the manifold. that is a 89-01 Honda V-force shown.

    Rhett, Spoke to them yesterday. He found 1 that will work, but it comes as a blank. The manifold holes will need to be drilled. It may be delivered later today. I will post a pic as soon as I get it.

    Bill, I'd be interested in a set for an '83 500. I'd prefer it to be drilled and trimmed ready to bolt right up. Don't mind paying for shipping to UK. Let me know if any good.

    Cheers
