After Market Reeds worth it?

[mattb348]

I have a 2002 Banshee with PC pipes/silencers, K&N clamp on air filters, and a noss machine head with 18CC domes.

 

I was just wondering how much of a boost aftermarket reeds (V force most likely) would give it? Would it even be worth the $300 or whatever? Would I ever notice much of a difference? and if so, where would I notice a difference?

 

Thanks guys!

You would see a little more top end,but are they worth it -no.But unfortunetly most aftermarkets parts are over priced.Get this most places want over a grand for a 10 mill stroker crank,when I just bought my son a Yamaha TTr-50 dirt bike brand new for $999.00.Whos making the cash.

1 crank - vrs- a complete new motorcycle man that just kills me,and then somebody will come along and try to make logic for this.

You will notice a nice top end gain. But to me they aren't really worth the money unless you have porting. Typical gains I've seen with a ported banshee on the dyno with the cool head, clamp ons, and pipes are 6hp.

 

For they money I wouldnt do them unless you plan to do more to the banshee as time progresses. Rocky mountain sells them for $225 instead of $300.

Really, 6 hp? That's sweet! I'm still running stock reeds with all my mods (see sig.) and getting close to 64hp on a somewhat worn motor. I just freshened up the top-end and I REALLY want to hit the 70hp mark with the stock bore/stroke, you think V-force reeds could get me there???

Actually there is a guy on e-bay that sells them for 189 + 10 shipping if your interested. I haven't bought them myself but I see them on there all the time.

Howbout you have your reeds ported for 30 bucks by the man on my signature, then hit the dyno.
