I noticed that a lot of the discussions about reeds on this site are about the V-Force 2--the older design.  Is that because it is better than the V-3, which I believe is available for the LT 250R?  Is there a reason to go with the V-2 rather than V-3? 

Also, I'm wondering if anyone can offer feedback on the V-Force vs. the Boyesen Rad valve?  Is the Boyesen better for bottom end, whereas the V-Force offers more top end?
