wesw Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 ok my brother in law, is getting his lower end done by a guy in ks. he was askign the ol boy about v force reeds. and according to his opinion, he wouldnt buy them or put them on unless they were giving to him. are they that bad. i mean i put mine on with a bunch of stuff, but surely they flow better with all the fancy shapes adn whatnot right Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 im no expert but i like mine. i wouldnt trade them for anything. i feel that i have a lot better throttle response with them. maybe the guy is wanting to port the stock cages or something. im sure that on the HQ everyone has mostly good things to say about v force reeds.

wesw Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Posted February 29, 2004 well thats what i was thinking but i wanted someone else opinion thanks Quote
MotulMonsta Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 V-force all the way. Everything else is 2nd rate crap. It's hard to say that about most products..but not with Moto Tassinari's V-force reeds...Damn I sound like a commercial. Quote
BansheeBrian Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 They made my PC piped shee alot less jumpy and the lightswitch affect isnt as harsh.There is a bit more power when you use the V-forces.Great for 3rd gear starts for draggin your friends. Quote

yamaha350 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 i have heard that running a bike lean will cause v-force to crack. i have been running mine for 2 years and i got them used, so they are about 3 years old. where are you buying pistons for 125 bucks, damn thats a lot for a piston. Quote

Nighty Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Try the boyesen reed petals. They are a good replacement for not to much $$. Quote
Trick2stroke Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 I have heard that V-Force reeds are the top of the line... Go Here..This guy says he found some reeds that are far better then V-Force and any other kinda reeds... Has any 1 else here had any exsperience with them, or know anything about them? Quote
jinx44 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Isn't that funny. I guess Ernie has posted that almost everywhere. Here is a post on atv connection where he and I argued about the cages. My login there is alkyburninx. I have the G3's and am not impressed so far, but I have more testing to do. http://forums.atvconnection.com/messagevie...&keyword1=truth Here is a topic on them from planet sand: http://www.planetsand.com/ubbthreads/showf...rev=#Post152889 As of now, the V-forces will be going back into my bike.
