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



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?
