I run them in my own bike... on edit: Per my previous post... It is better to error on the side of caution with dome volumes, if you know what I mean! Edited December 12, 2008 by deckheight Quote
firebanshee Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 excellent stuff guys thanks alot for all your info its greatly appreciated. any opinions on aftermarket reeds??? I run a set of sock ported reed cages and boysen reeds on one of my bikes and they work good, i also had them on my cub and liked them.I think my V-2s work better, i have been thinking about trying V-3s.

deckheight Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 Yup I like the snappier throttle when the carbon fiber is new... The snap just doesn't seem to last long though. And then theres the multiple times C/F reeds have come apart on me at high rpm... Although the ones that came apart were not on a Banshee motor, just don't trust em anymore... Carbon Fiber... "Strong but not for long"... Quote
jimbob Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Posted December 13, 2008 yeah now ya mention it i remembered on my last set of v3's i had one of the reeds distroy itself at high rpm. might be worth going with the boyensen reeds and ported cages Quote
Boo_69 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 for a head i run a chariot performance head and works great. they will anodize certain colors, show chrome, and no finish. price isn't bad either. :thumbsup: Good luck Quote
deckheight Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 Like I said the C/F reeds were not on a Banshee motor. Fact is they were in case reed motors, Banshees don't expose the reeds to that kind of crankcase turbulance... Still, for what I am currently doing, the Boyesen's work pretty good so why bother... I also like the Chariot head shells. Only problem I have had with them is the color I wanted last time was "out of stock" ... Had to get a red one... LOL! Quote
05.Banshee.SE Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 If the Boyesen breaks and Fs up your motor, bitch to them and they'll send you new sets for free. I think 1 petal snapped and they got 2 sets for free? Quote
