ey snop i know that u know yur shit. but not everyone dyno's there bike after every mod like u do. personnly i go by how it feels. i can tell something is workin or not by how its feels. it sounds stupid but i guess i have gift... i learned this by clutching and modding sleds for over 6 years.try it out as is, clutch it try it out and see if its better. same aplys to quads try it, do something try it again ...take off what u did and try again to if there was a gain plain in simple. hell ive tried vf3's on bone stock banshees and sean a gain, even sleds. im sure yur carbon tech reeds or just as good or better from what u say , but ive never played around with them soo wouldnt know. all im sayin to this guy is they do make a difference, and the reed spacer only give u better response thats it
