Help with 1985 Honda 250r

[Mee2dude]

I know I need new Reed valves for it. But what brand n style? It's stock virgin motor this first set being replaced on it. I'm looking for cheap but good set. Any one able to help out?

This is somewhat subjective bit I prefer the Boysen reeds. Boysen reeds give a bit more bottom end whereas the Vforce 3 reeds are more top end and give a bit more hit on the powerband but in my opinion the Boysen reeds are better for a general upgrade.

Boysen reeds

Where is a cheap place to get them at?

Is there a specific reason that you "need" new reeds? Or are you just looking for an upgrade? Just reeds are not going to give you a noticeable increase in performance. They will work "with" other upgrades, such as air filter, carb, etc., but by themselves...you'll likely never notice a difference.

Boysen reeds are better all around then the vforce and they are around the sames price

Boyesen always used to offer OEM style replacement reed petals if you don't want to spend the $$$ on swapping the entire reedcage. If they still offer them that would be a more economical option.

As far as pricing, all the major brands (ESR, Duncan, V-Force, Boyesen, etc) are all in the same ballpark for entire reedcage setups. They will all run between $160 and $200 give or take a few bucks.
