cr125 reeds

They compare quite nicely, but...
You need to remove a significant amount of material from the intake tract and also a fair bit from the walls of the cage itself for a proper fit. You will also need to use a reed spacer since the CR cage is deeper than the blaster intake. It will actually hit the port bridge if a spacer is not used. The steel frame from a stock intake manifold will work perfectly with a bit of grinding. The reeds themselves will also need to be lightly sanded to fit the cage afterwards since the walls will be reduced in width.
The CR Reeds(correct me if I am wrong) that are used to retrofit to the blaster are 89-92 and 94's, but again It takes some careful grinding and modding to get um to work... Think the spacer recommended is a 3/4".
Found a good ol' thread with this covered as well, some good info write up and pics too, enjoy:

Re: porting blaster reeds
not sure on that... i know it has been for sale on both ebay and amazon before. it covers alot about getting the most out of your 2 stroke engine.

Yeah, REED blocks can be done, my VF3 block is bored out to 33mm and handles trhe job nicely, good stuff.
I did the cr125 reed mod and it seems to werk well. I have pics on my profile that cover the werk and techniques i used.If i would have had a cr reed spacer welded to the jug it would have been easier. the reeds from many years of cr125 will fit. I scored some real cheap on ebay and it took me several hours to get them to fit and function well. i used a 3/8ths spacer but could have and have seen ppl fit them straight in to the intake with extreme porting. chutzell is the one who gave me the idea and does the mods for ppl. they stomp vf'3s from what i hear. i personally never had vf3's they cost $125 more than im willing to spend.
I busted through the side of my vito's cylinder while fitting the CR reeds. I wouldn't just recommend it to anyone now. It's only for those who have the need for speed and have truly maxed out the stock reed cage (big bore, high end pipe, 35+mm carb and intake, stroke crank) Otherwise a set of boyesen dual stages will do just about anything you want...
oh yeah what sicivic said. DONT TRY THIS unless u understand it may end in catastrophic falure!!!. i forgot to throw in my disclaimer.lol. i f*ck up lots of stuff pushing the extremes. i like to ride on the edge of bad ass and disaster!!!
