Thinking about upgrading my reeds.....any thoughts out there Hoons? I've been seeing boyesen replacement reeds for like $40 and I've been seeing the whole Boyesen reed valve assembly for like $140.
I've also heard that one way to test reeds is to pull the assembly out and fill it with water.....good reeds should only allow a certain amount of drops per minute.....Don't quote me cause I don't know shit about shit.....
However can anyone verify this method?

Naaaa all reeds will leak. Look for splits, chips, or cracks to tell if their junk.
The Honda reeds are tough to beat..

I got Boyesen Super Stock reeds on a 96 cage in my 1985 engine - they run awesome, they are cheap and this coming from a guy who loves vForce.

I have a question about reeds, I have an '89 and an '01 both have 8 pettles, 4 top, 4 bottom, I picked up some FMF reeds and they are 4 pettle? they say that they are for '89 - '01, they look to be wide enough to cover the whole width of the cage, just wondering is there a 4 pettle reed cage or would these go onto my cage with each covering 2 places
