jayzx10r Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Hey Mike, I believe that aftermarket reed cages can realize some degree of performance enhancement by drag motors but real world motors don't really derive significant benefit from them. I run the Boyesen Power Reeds (the 2 stage fiberglass version P/N #645) and am completely satisfied with them. Carbon reeds don't last anywhere near as long and are prone to failure with greater frequency as well....not qualities what one looks for in a reliable runner. As for the cost, they retail for around $25.00 a set so you should be able to outfit your machine for less than 60 bux. As for pipes, I've no experience with Pro Circuits, but I have used CPI's, Toomey T-5's, and FMF Fatty's...I'm a sand duner. I kept the Fatty's and sold the rest...but understand that pipe selection should be based on your engine mods and riding style. I like the fit and finish on the Fatty's too...as well as the used price. They can be found cheeaappp in great condition online or in the "for sale" section on this site. If you are going to leave the motor stock and just change the pipes, filter and jetting, T-6 pipes might be a good choice....but no one stops modding there!! A lot of people drag race on this forum so when you ask for mod ideas, understand that their upgrade experiences may be different than what you're looking for. A typical upgrade list order of operations might include: A. Exhaust, filters, jetting. B. Welded crank, porting, interchangeable domes head, Wiseco forged pistons. C. Adjustable timing plate, upgraded stator, reasonably sized larger carbs. Try to think of what you want as an end result and pick your mods with that result in mind. An end result package with parts that work harmoniously together will always work better than something that works against itself because of a bad parts choice install. Suspension should be upgraded as well but that's another question from you...lol. And I smoked a Cub this weekend at Glamis 3 out of 3 times at the strip last weekend too!! I have a couple of BHQ witnesses on that one....lol. Edited January 3, 2011 by jayzx750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedfreek1 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 if your looking for some pipes and filters i have a pro design proflow and k&N filters with the adapter and a set of toomey pipes that are black complete set you will see a big dif from stock and good set up for mx and trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard once you port the motor then you will need the crank welded. And as far as suspension goes i will probably go with some stock yfz shocks. Also do you know anything about milling the head? I heard that is a lot cheaper then cool heads and i am on a pretty tight budget. thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick up a head already done pretty cheap or have a head fly cut for 25-30 bux. You can always post an ad in the "Wanted" section and see what comes up...

I just road the banshee today since it had some work done. Carbs where just rebuilt and the guys I got it from had two different sized needles in and had the throttle bodies in backwards. They also removed the tors and never finished trilling for the idle screws. When i got it I thought it was slow stock but that its running good it rips.
