darren61462 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Posted July 5, 2005 Has anyone successfully modified their stock intake for better airflow? I work in a machine shop and am going to get the flywheel lightened, carbs bored abd mod the stator plate. Any other "poor boy" mods I miss? thanks Quote

fastbanshee4u Posted July 5, 2005 Report Posted July 5, 2005 You can do more than that.If your using a reed that is solid at the tip,you can grind about 3/16 out of the divider.This gives you more area to get fuel. Quote
cbn70 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 Will this mod give you a real noticable increase in performance?? I have the boysen 2 stage reeds in mine bike, and was thinking about going with the v-force, but it is a pricey option. Will this give similar gains? thanks Chuck Quote
Shee-Male Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 I did my reeds after seeing the roostfest site and it gave me a "seat of the pants" improvement, I was quite impressed. Another mod you can do is deck your stock head .025-.030, I did mine witth CBN tooling on a resurfacer for a super smooth finish, you can also use a surface grinder. I also found the irrideum NGK spark plugs to work extreamly well. Ans if you havn't changed your filter do that, and of course pipes are a must. Quote
MDS2106 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 I did mine when I had the banshee down for a rebuid so it is hard to say how much I gained. I hogged out the reed cage on my sons blaster and it made a huge difference on his bike Quote

I haven't picked up a k&n but will have one soon. I have FMF fatty's and good collection of jets to try when this is done. I will be milling the head and porting and polishing the jugs this fall when I tear it down to the frame for powder coating. thanks Quote
cbn70 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 has anyone else done this mod, and what were yopur results???? chuck Quote

Were these what you meant or were the reeds all metal? Quote
