elbanshee Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I have an '04 banshee w/fatty pipes. I tried drag racing but I kept getting my ass handed to me by yfz450's honda 450ex....etc. I just installed some 1dir racing reed valves and what a difference!!!!!!!!!! I was beating all these quads that I couldn't even touch two weeks ago. I get great low end response and awsome mid & high power I could not believe the difference these things made. By the way my friend has the same setup but with V-force valves and I smoked him by about 5-6 bike lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx44 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 PLEASE!!! The G-3's suck. Its been proven time and again. If you spend as much time designing your product as you do filling people full of your bullshit, you might be able to outperform V-force. By the way, I can comment on how the G-3's suck because I own a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrider Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Amen to that,any reed cage that requires reed spacers to reach there full potential are obviously lacking in something. Not to mention how they tested the competitors reed cages.Why did they have a special test for v-force and pyramid reed cages?Probably because it was the only way they could rig those numbers for the G3's. Don't waste your money on a half right reed cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been proven time and again. 353950[/snapback] maybe you need to bump your mains up about 8 sizes to realize the full 20hp gain these bad boys will give you. additionally, they cure male pattern baldness as well.

richybanshee Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I do not want to be rude, if a lot of people say something sucks, then it probably does. If the reeds are working for you then, that is good. Maybe VForce is the better reed system but who cares, at least you are happy with the results you got. I personally will put VForce. The only thing is that I do not know which one is better the 2's or the 3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx44 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 From what I have heard, the V-2's are better unless you modify the V-3's. I don't know what all modifications they are doing to them though. The G3's lower your intake velocity to the point that they require the huge jets in order to pull the same amount of fuel. If the velocity is high, there is more pressure and it can pull fuel through a smaller jet. You aren't really getting more fuel through the larger jet if the velocity is low. The dudes first post on here is talking up a product? I don't think so. For some reason all I have ever heard about G3's is hype. I do have a set and they are in my trail bike. Reason being, I pulled the V-forces out of it and put them in my drag bike. If I can find another set of V-forces cheap I will pull the G3's out. The G3's DO work better than unported stock cages.

Capone Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I've seen ppl hyping G3's all over ebay, message boards, fake websites... its really pathedic. I don't think they're real users, I think they're trying to sell it if you know what im sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj820 Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I almost got sold on the G-3's myself! The testimonials out there were amazing! I even found a forum where someone was talking up the G3's and some of the other forum members tore his ass up for making false statements. Apparently this guy was somehow affiliated with 1dir racing and pushing these reeds on the sites! I wouldn't consider that illegal but for how much they are trying to sell these reeds for I would buy V-Force! So thats what I did! I bought some V-Force 3's back in Feb. when they became readily available again and I have been sitting on them for the past 3 months! Just rebuilt my bored and ported motor, put a NOSS head with 21cc domes, 28mm PWK's w/ K&N pods, V-Force 3's, 200w Ricky Stator, advanced my timing 6 degrees and I am waiting for my Shearers to come. Let me tell you guys how much I cannot wait to start that bitch up for the first time! My buddy who already had a few mods put the V-Force 2's on a couple of years ago and couldn't belive the difference! That pretty much had me sold!!!!

My point was well proven and the V2's came out on top. G3's did nothing that DIR and his cronies claimed. 1) Advertising is one thing. Banshee HQ welcomes people and businesses to put a banner on the top of the forum. Making up a bogus login and posting an idiotic story to promote somthing that is not good enough to promote itself is another. 2) Sell a product, that's fine. Come on here and tell us about the product. Don't go on EVERY MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET FORUM and post like you are a customer. Credibility is down hill from there. If William Holgren posted as himself and told about his product and had truthful information to back up his claims, I would not have posted what I did. Lies and bullshit are no way to sell a product. 3) I already had 2 sets of the V-force 2's when I bought the G3's. I already have a set so I am not wishing.
