S&S reed valve for Evo big twins

S&S claim their new reed valve for Evolution engines increases air flow and allows Evolution style engines to breathe more easily.
Designed to work on crankcase pressure rather than timing, the reed valve is an upgraded replacement. . It has three steel reeds that open on the downstroke of the piston, allowing improved cam chest venting. When the piston changes direction, the vacuum closes the reeds, preventing air from entering the crankcase and maintaining pressure, thus improving scavenging.

Interesting.....does this work best on late head breather bikes, the 84-92 crankcase breathers, or both?

I think you find thats a different application, along with belt driven go-cart engines and remember the yam version?

more importantly the EVO version follows the sucess of twim cam version.
A sensible method of curing puking.

Re: S&S reed valve for Evo big twins

I've had a look around for a supplier and can't find them anywhere? Maybe me just being stupid, do you have a link or site I could go to, price etc?

Where can you get one from, and what cost are we looking at?

Re: S&S reed valve for Evo big twins

It's on Page 54 of their EVO catalogue (which, bizarrely, is Page 56 when you select it from the on-line view option on the left of the screen).
