Ya – this dude made up some sample test reeds for me for a shifter kart. You got too much HP and a clutch in your sled to feel the little difference from (new) stock if any. He had cuts and altered thickness and material in them to change the strength of the lift.
We had them in a 125 CC Euro engine kart at 13,500 at 42HP.
We wanted reeds that didn’t resonate the ends off them.
I like they way they stayed tight just like the _____ reeds (the name is gone from my head) – he makes dual stage as well. Anyway both did the job both required leaner pilots. ITS Boyesen Reeds
We had another brand sponsor but they didn’t seat tight. Well – I was told the pressure pushes them back down - I didn’t use them.
