I know they are both 4 bolt intake manifolds, but IDK if the parts interchange, try X referencing parts #s.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

No, Kenny is right. The early SA50s and the Dios are both 4-bolt pattern into the crankcase. I think some race reeds are 3-screw, depending on the manifold used. The SBs and the Sprees are 2 bolt.

The parts diagrams are interesting. The pre-94 SA50 (mine is 88) shows 2 different reed cage/manifold set ups. There is one off to the side that looks identical to the set-up for the Dio models (same drawing), however, the part numbers corresponding to reference numbers in that diagram on the early SA50 are not listed in the parts table at 2 different web sites I have checked. It suggests they may be interchangeable, but not definitive. It really needs someone to have tried attaching a (e.g. CT) race manifold to an early SA50.

I guess if no-one knows, I could try calling Keoni at VTCycles when they open again Thursday.

I think Corey, the original poster, has aftermarket reeds plus racing manifold in mind. Is that right Corey?
