Hodaka Super Rat - Lapping the Reed Cage Flat

Lapping the reed cage flat on a 98 Super Rat. Quick, easy and worth the time spent. These surfaces often warp over time from over tightening & heat. All you need is a piece of glass, some 400 -600 grit wet/dry sandpaper and some light oil (I use WD-40).

Very clever. This technique might be useful on the inlet flange surface of Amal carburetors.

It works great for that to, I lapped the inlet flanges on my R51/3 carbs this last summer 👍
