It has been posted before that "Boysen reeds from an early 80's suzuki RM 80 will fit right in" but I have never tried. I would like to know because I plan to build a KEC 440-22 for my 295/S this winter.

Are stock style reeds still available as well? I plan on splitting my LF 340 this summer to put new seals in it and would like to replace the reeds if they need it.
