reed spacers

Hey i just bought a set of 3/8" reed spacers on ebay and was wondering how much they actually help performance thanks.

none at least thats what I have always heard

if you run them in between the reed and jugg, you will lose power, but it is an unnoticible gain on the carb side of the reeds. usually only run them to clear the clutch lever. they add one more sealing surface to worry about.

I've run them on both sides and didn't notice any difference in either case. No dyno results to show slight increase or decrease though. I use them with my 35 PWKs to clear the clutch actuator.

What else is done to your motor?

I never noticed any difference, I ran them on the carb side just to get clearance with 28pwks off of the clutch acuator arm, not for performance gain

Its in pieces right now all over my shop lol. its been bored too 65mm a port job and i saw those reed spacers were cheap and said what the hell; but my crank seals are blown so i have too bust the case so when i put it all back together i want too do it all at once.im going too get a ajustible time plate 2 into 1 card intake and a kienh 35mm pwk card. i have not decided on what pipes im getting yet and wether too shave my stock head or get a cool head because i want too run 93 oct and i want the bike too reliable and rideable.Any suggestions on anything would help.

You will see a small maybe 1/2 hp gain in midrange power, and lose probably about 1.2-1.5 hp off the top end by running them.
