Is it a waste of money to RB my carb and not replace the reed cage?
Thank you,

not at all a waste. you need to replace only if:
a: you want better ones.
b: your current ones are damaged, chipped, cracked...
You can get boysen for 40 bux or so, best bang for the buck.

You do not need a new cage but you probably will want new reeds for the stock cage at least. Your current reeds are probably in need of replacement any way.

When I installed my RB'd Airstriker I also installed new Boyesen 607 reeds. I am very satisfied with the results.

Thanks very much guys!
Now I need to figure out how to have the work done and minimize downtime. I hate to miss a weekend ride!

RBD is the fastest company I ever worked with, his turnaround is extremely fast. I bet if you send it Monday morning you'd get it easily by friday.

Wow! That would be great.
I will give RB a call to see if I can make that happen.
Thank you,

If you are worried about down time send another money order for a new jet block gasket and float bowl gasket.

I think you're the only one that ever had that problem

Could be, but it could happen again. I am happy with the work, just the delay of mailing another money order to get the job completed sucked.

I gotta say my carb turnover time was 1 day, very fast.

RB went out of his way to get my stuff back to me in a hurry. I sent the shipment on Tuesday, he received it on Thursday, & I had everything back that Saturday. VA to Oregon & back in 5 days!
As for reeds, I installed Boysen 607's at the same time & I am more than satisfied with the whole shooting match. Git'er done... you will not be disappointed. RB's work is worth every penny & more.
