they are fiberglass, whatever color that is. Off white... yellow... sure.

Boyesen power reeds are two stage. There's a thicker reed underneath with three holes in it, and then the upper reed with three petals. No reed stops.

sorta, yeah. But the 607's i've seen have an upper plate with 3 separate petals, like this guys... Scroll down and look at the lower pictures.

Of course, those ones are wore slap out, but you get the idea. Yours must be boyesen power reeds, but I've not seen any #607 reeds that looked quite like that before.

bang for buck: I'd get the carb + head mod and the boyseen. This would cost just about the same as getting the VF3 only but the performance would be a lot better!

For your KDX, v-force nor rad valve will be enough increase over the $30 boyesen power reeds to justify the cost.

I'd likewise RB it first! Which I hope to do, as soon as possible.....
