is the delta force really worth getting?

Post by the trail rider »

is the delta force III really worth $150 versus the carbon pro reeds $50 it seems like getting the carbon pros is worth it but the delta force . all you get is adjustable reed stops right. any advice on this is greatly appreciated.

I can't stand the thought of a better product out there and not on my bike. The VForce are better IMO, but worth the cost? Only you can decide that.

They don't make "PRO" carbon reeds for a KDX.

I stand corrected. I checked certain source and they didn't list any for the KDX just the power series. Damn sources! :neutral:

If I buy the Power Reeds for the 200 (part # 607), will they fit my 220? :roll: If so, will they make it rev. higher than if I got the 220 reeds(part # 607)? :mrgreen:

I wonder how well a moose spacer and a set of cabon reeds would work together? :?

A lot of the KTM guys swear by the reed spacers. I've been tempted to try one in my 89 and see what affect it has on the carbon fiber reeds i've got in it.

On my KDX220, there's no room for a spacer. It would put the carb too far back. As it is, the cable feed needs to be curved to fit within the frame anyway.
Doug put one on his KX500 but took it back off. Too much PITA to put on and remove the carb with it in place.
