Justintoxicated Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 The claim really IS hard to believe since the V-force cages are proven to have more flow than stockers or even ported stockers. Plus on V-force there are more petals and appear to be made from the same stuff.. Quote

RATBIKE0130 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 You guys are really trying too hard to figure out how these reeds work. It's way simpler than you think. There is only so much you can do to a reed itself to make it flow better. I believe the way how they get these reeds to work better than stock is probably also the reason why the reeds don't last long and are not recommended for built up motors. Quote

The way how Vforce reeds work is they increase reed tip area. They don't have to open as far so they flow more without having to resort to paper thin reeds that don't last long. Quote

squish Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) They are not thinner. If anything thicker. And alot more resilient. If you use the stock reed stops carbon fiber reeds almost certainly will never break. Stock reed stops provide a good transition for the reed. Reeds in an aftermarket cage break mostly because of the stop that it used. There is none. Just a good breaking point at the very end of were its mounted. Edited November 3, 2005 by squish Quote
23champ Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 Anyone ever get a set of these to try out? Quote
bigwill Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Jim at Passionracing is the best to test anything that would work on a two-stroke motor-Nyuk would probably say Andy at Grandriverracing-there are others that are well respected here-stop playing and send someone a set Quote

Ruko Posted December 19, 2005 Report Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) I just got a set of these reeds from Shane. I am planning to put them on my girlfriends Banshee which is all stock except for FMF Fatty pipes. It's ripped apart right now to get the frame powder coated so it'll be a while, but I'll get you guys a review once it's up and running again. I know I'm not one of those builders but I'll tell you what I think of them. Edited December 19, 2005 by Ruko Quote
sandman121383 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 ya we gotta get jim a set. see what the man thinks! Quote
banshee tuner Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Send Jim your set and lets see what they are about. I'm sure you will get them back or he would replace with something equal value. Quote
Ruko Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Hey Jim.... My girls Banshee is in pieces right now so I don't need them right away. I haven't dealt with you before but you seem to have a good name on here, so I wouldn't have a problem sending them to you for a while to check out as long as I get them back when I'm ready for them. let me know....
