Need help identifying this is this vforce 1's or 2's?
Vforce 2's....that's the good stuff
Does that look like the reed mount holes for an 88 500? Looks different than the ones I've seen online.
Never mind looked at my reed cage again looks like a match for mounting holes.
Just got that reed cage for $75!
Now I'm not sure if I want v2's or v3's!! Damn these tough decisions!! Lol
Haha so I take that to mean v2's are tons of cheers of beers better than v3's?!
if you make a poll about the 2 that will be your answer, it's quadracer math. I invented it
Nice so I guess I'm happy with my impulse eBay buy.
Just make sure the petals are good and set at the highest tension setting(adjuster bottomed out to the mounting flange) If you have questions about modifying your intake boot to fit them in just ask. DO NOT CUT THE EARS ALL THE WAY OFF....... They need to be cut and tapered into the V2 cage.
Damn so its not just a bolt on. I have to modify the intake boot, nobody said anything about modifying no boot man! I reckon I'll cross that bridge when I get to it I'm still smitten about the find hopefully the petals are in good shape and all there. Item description says lightly used good condition but we'll see.
It comes/ w/ the directions w/ it... they have to be cut on all of them.... not hard at all tho... just gotta be careful and do it right!!
I don't think his are new tony so they may not have the instructions about the ears or the warning about the tension setting
Pitrone its a used set doubt it comes with instructions.
You got the best cage cheap, if you need petals there $40-$50. The boot's easy to do. It can be done with a straight blade but your better off fine trimming with a dremal.
Sweet I'm stoked I'm gonna solicit motto tasenari for install instructions. Worth a try.
oh and sell those v3's
A stock cage smoothed out with carbon tech MT or HT petals is next best thing i've found to v2's, and i've tried a lot of different reed cages over the years. Almost every 2 stroke I own has V2's.
I can send you a copy of the instructions. They are nothing special, just do as I said and you'll be good
Pull your cage and boot off you'll see the ears, i'll be tearing mine down soon and will send you a pic of the modified ears.
Ok that sounds awesome. Oh I don't have v3's I was planning on buying them in 3 weeks but I figured the price on this v2 cage was to good to pass up. The seller had it listed as an 88 250r v3 cage. Think he didn't know he had v2's.
I can photocopy my instructions and send them to you... not that hard... I just used an exacto-knife... worked well... then Carl port-matched them when he did my motor....
edit**Just saw Garrett beat me to it!
What do you mean port matched? My cylinder is getting ported now and I've been planning on running v3's so switching to v2's won't mess up my port job will it?
I think it blends the flow from the boot into the cage....?
