Bansh-eman Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 yes ever surface should have a gasket on it to prevent it from leaking... gaskets can be bought at any bike shop for a fwe bucks.. Quote

SAVAGE420 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) Hey i was just wondering whats the differents of having the spacers under or above the reeds ? What is better or does it matter? Edited April 22, 2007 by savage420 Quote
CadillacBanshee Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 The bike shop where i bought mine said that THEY HAVE TO GO AFTER THE REEDS. After the reeds is under i'm assuming. If you have no gaskets then apply some yamabond on both sides before you slap them on. They make about as much difference on the bike as the boost bottle. good luck. Quote

Im not going to be using the spacers to make more power...i need them cause i have bigger carbs and pro design intakes that make the carbs sit more level.... What would be the differents in puting them under my intakes instead of puting them under my Reed blocks? Quote
mpbanshee Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 Won't hurt anything. I just use spacers so my fat-ass carbs clear the clutch perch also... Quote
jbooker82 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Posted April 24, 2007 If you would have gotten the boss racing intake you wouldnt have needed to run reed spacers. They move the carbs up and out of the way of the clutch arm. Plus it has a built in crossover. I would say that the reeds go between the cylinders and reeds. Quote
