Re: 1973 T500 Cafe Project
The snag with getting the reeds in really close to the bore on the 750 engines is the stud locations , the only way around this is to turn the reeds vertically .

John , if your saying your reed set is 1-3/4" wide its still too wide but still a full inch more narrow than the 6 petal sets .
