demsy Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 on the back side it has the metal part that angles back, i guess it prevents it fom openning too much.. will that hinder performance. i ported them and have the carbon fiber reeds, im just wondering if that will affect it any??? i dont have the small metal piece that comes with aftermarket reeds, or should i cut the stock ones down???

sredish Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 get rid of the stock cages altogether and get you some vforce reeds. you won't be sorry. some people think they are pricey, but everyone that has them would buy them all over again. Quote
SICK BOY Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 I got rad valves,and I like them as well. Quote
sredish Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 If they're the FMF Rad valves, their the same as a ported stock cage. Thats what FMF did for a long time, and thats why they quit making them, 'cause people caught on. I'm not saying their bad, they're just modified/ported stock cages with fmf reeds and a red/orange box. Quote
demsy Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Posted February 15, 2004 ok lets get back to the question at hand... i know v force are better but for right now stock ported is what i can do,, Quote
banshee tuner Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 Definitly port your stock cages, for the money it is a great power gain. It's free and some people claim it adds 2 hp. I know that I could feel the difference and I have boyesen reeds, the tdr reeds are the best for stock ported cages. Quote
SICK BOY Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 Sredish FMF made ram valves,and Boyesen makes rad valves. Quote
sredish Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 I know that, but the FMF rad valves were nothing more than stock ported cages with fmf reeds. Quote
itsaripper Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 Demsy, You should not take the reed stops off. They help high speed rebound on the reeds. But take and cut off the end with a hack saw just above the big hole. Then bend them out till they just scrape the top and bottem going in. Porting the reed cages is one of the simplest mods and cheep. By the way there is a nother set of reed cages out there that look real good. They are called G3 by Dir1. Suposed to move more air the anyone else. The long narrow peddles is a good idea. I havn't bought any but still look good. Quote
bpreuss Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 can anyone post any pics on how to port stock cages? Quote
