Porting stock reed cages

[80overShee]

I saw a post a while back about porting stock reed cages. I am intesreted in knowing a little more about how to do it and the gains of it compared to an aftermarket cage such as Vforce 3's. I saw a tutorial on how to port the cages but know I am unable to find the post or the tutorial itself, could someone please give me some insight on how much can be gained from this mod and where I can find this tutorial again?

 

thanks

v force will net more gains then the ported stockers

[rocketboy]

dont eve nwaste your time IMo,bro,just buy some vforce2 ,i belive Banchette had a dyno of the ported stockers and it offered no gain vforce definitly add noticable gains. theres a reason they are on every fast banshee, there is really nothing better ,thats fact not opinion

[locogato11283]

v force for sure. i wouldnt waste time with stockers.

vforce 2's made little or no difference in our bikes over stock ported cages.vforce 2's are a waste of money,they eventually will go to shit the reed petals could come off the cage and get in your cylinders .we have seen this come close to happening.vforce 3's on the other hand are the way to go they are a great improvement over the 2's and out perform the v-force 2's by far.just giving my oppinion and experience with vforce 2's.go with v-force 3's

hmm, i would doubt this until i see some dyno sheets or something. almost all builders recommend v force reeds. why is that if they dont do anything? ive been running the same set of v force reeds and petals for almost 3 years now with no issues. they are still like brand new. whats different about that 3's that make them so much better? not that im doubting you there, just wondering what they changed??

I have a set of ported stock cages with tdr reeds I will let go for 50 bucks if you want um

 

I noticed a gain over not being ported but thats just my opinion.

[kenr74]

I ported mine and noticed a gain. I've never ran V-force so I can't compare them but for free it was worth the time.

Porting your cages is a great mod and it's free. I'm still running ported cages cause back when I did mine there was so many post on here talking about the slight difference in ported stockers versus delta 2's. I definately felt a difference when I did mine.

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll be porting the cages next week when I return from vacation. Would do it today but I have a few four strokes I need to make look even more pathetic. I'll give the porting a try until I can get a set of V3's. I do not want to even try the V2's for the reason of the seemingly common losing of screws in the jugs. NOT something I wanna go through.

this is the best way ove ever seen to hack your cages to be exactly even.

 

if you have access to the tools.
