Re: V-Force 4: Does anyone use it? What's gain?
I've used the v-force reeds on my MX bikes and like the results. There is a kink in the angle of the carb to cylinder air path on the MX bike because of the shock and air-box position. I think the window pane design is designed to straighten the air flow. My brain says that any obstruction would limit air-flow.....but I can't argue with the result on my KX250. Is that picture of an actual RZ350/Banshee V-Force reed cage? The RZ carbs mount with a fairly straight line, so I am curious if that is a generic "stock photo" for a bike that has a kink in the air flow.

So... this cage is of the RZ350/Banshee

Here are a couple better pictures of the V-Force-4 4144-2 reeds for banshee. Maybe this will help you see. The MotoTassanari product description talks quite a bit about the new design. You can call them directly and speak to one of their techs sometimes you might even get the company owner.will-engineer wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 4:11 pm

They look like chinese fakes to me as the aerofoil in the centre isnt rounded off like the originals.

You could be right about the fake Chinese knock-offs. For the record, the pictures above, even if fake product, demonstrate the "window pane" design opening and it's purpose to straighten air-flow.
Here are a couple videos of the reeds showing the carb side opening:

In the video below a guy compares the the fake to real ones.. At about 3:20 and at about 4:20 in the video he shows the two from the carb side so you can get a good idea of that intake "window"
