Does anyone know where I can get some new or at least better reed valves for my KZ 1100-L LTD?

Z1 Enterprises?

AFAIK the only ones available are the OEM reed valves.

FWIW, most folks just yank the hoses/charcoal canister/fuel seperator for that epa mandated crap and either fab plates to cover the reed valve openings, or just block of the outlets on top of the reed valve covers.

What do you suggest to do with the vacuum line from the carb to the reed valve?
