Also, can you put up a post on how you find the VForce3's when you've got some hours on them. The HQ could really do with some reviews on these. ... What make of reeds have you replaced? Rare.

Yeh, I will post my thoughts of the VF3s after I ride with them. I just had some modified stock cages, so it will not be a 2 vs 3 comparison, but I will post my thoughts none the less. Quote
