    No they have their own special cage, V-force 2 reeds will give you a lot more than aftermarket carbon reeds..

    Is'nt it so that carbon reeds dont hold their tension as long as original pettals???
    "V-force" reeds have more surface area thus the pettals dont have to move as far therefore more responsive.
    You can also adjust the tension of them.
    ???????RIGHT?????

    You change your stock reeds cause their steel and if they break they fuk your motor, carbon techs are just carbon versions of stock reeds but v-force actually did some r@d and made somethong that gives you more power, hence the reed cages are different etc, you should have just got the ones i could have got you last week, now your going to pay a fortune :roll:
