fastrthnu Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Im pretty sure either boyeseen or fmf or both fit on stock cages,. but does anyone know if vForces do? Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 As mentioned they don't they're a totally different design. A word to the wise, as I've run both over the years. I had the Boyesen's for quite some time, thought they made a difference and I believe they did make a small difference, but nowhere near the difference as when I switched to VF3's. Quote
Animalman294 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Yeah, if you're going to get new reeds, don't go cheap, save up and get the cages too after all they were designed for the reeds................. :thumbsup: Quote
Snopczynski Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 I run carbon techs. (low-mids) Quote
Dgrey Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Do the VF3's come with cages for what I saw online for about $260? Im sorry I know what the reeds look like from online pictures and I assume the cage is what they go into, but generally do the cages come with them for that price? Where do you guys go to get them and how much are they if you have to buy the cages with them on top of the $260 that the reeds themselves cost. How hard are they to change out? Could it be done in 1 hour? Does a banshee have to be re-jetted after the install? Quote

He had them at $190 or something crazy around Christmas I believe. VF3's are totally different reed cage and carbon fiber petals. An hour should be do-able but it depends on your mechanical comfort level. Usually you do not have to rejet, possibly, or possibly a needle adjustment. It's always a great idea to check jetting after any engine modification even if the jetting should be unaffected. Quote
