Boyesen reeds for R ?

[Huffa]

Anyone ever try both kinds and notice any difference ?

I guess the Pro series reeds are carbon fiber?

Power are 32 bucks , Pro's are 50.

go with power, best for all around ridng, they worked great in mine

[Huffa]

Thanks and most likely I will.

I imagine the CF's last longer but for how much I ride the powers will last a life time.

I have the CF reeds on my flat tracker with a ported stock reed cage and it made a huge difference.

A huge difference between the stockers or the powers ?

Hmmmm, Boyesen, where they make them, is right down the road from me, I could probably pick them up there.

I also got the Carbon Finbers on the 250R Love them !

i also had the powers ... good power

Can't go wrong with what ever you choose

[edog]

Carbon's are great!!!

[Huffa]

Carbon's are great!!!

What's the advantage over the powers, longer lasting and they flex easier so the power comes on sooner ?

[Billy Golightly]

a huge difference between the stock cage and regular boyesen "power" reeds that are fiberglass, and the Pro Series carbon fiber reeds along with the modified reedcage.

I own both sets of those reeds for my 85 R. I feel a set of stock reeds with stops pulls harder and revs higher then any of those two sets. The new aftermarket reeds clean up the low end and midrange very well. My bike makes greater power with a stock set of metal reeds and stops. You want a power increase, get a PT high rev and a 39mm pwk. That will peel your eye lids back for sure.

My 300 has a 38 Mikuni on with a reed block spacer I believe, which would make me think it's more a top end machine which is exactly what I don't want.

I'm more interested in a broader usable low-mid power band then a screaming top end.

Would I be better off removing the block and using a smaller carb to get what I'm after ?

I'd just try removing the reed spacer block 1st though, if I'm correct in my thinking that that just helps with top end ?

I hardly rode it in this condition so of course I'll see if this set up (38 & spacer) satisfies me 1st, but I have a feeling that it's set up wrong for track riding, guy before me used to drag race it a lot, really was not a track type of guy.

every set of carbons that i have had have always cracked and chiped i bought my first set of powers and put them in my RAD vavle and have been very happy. i dont think its worth the extra 20 or so bucks, but thats my .02

Chipped ?? Sure isn't a good diet for the cylinder, piston and rings !

Yup right at the edge of all the fingers and i dont know why. My buddies with Banshees have had the same problems.

Anybody run Carbon Tech or ProRev reeds. Just wondering if they are more durable than the Boyesen carbon reeds? I'm running the Boyesen Pro(carbon fiber) reeds now and like them allot. Haven't had one break yet, but don't want to chance it too much either. Chris

Man, that doesn't sound good at all. I suppose the compression may just spit the small particals out the exhaust but still .......
