Default Reed Spacers

I have been having problems trying to get all the low end power I can out of the shee, and I am wondering if it has something to do with the reed spacers. I was reading about them and it says they improve top end, so do they generally take away bottom end?

Get rid of the V-Force and buy some G3's. Call William at 858-679-3288. These reeds are adjustable to your riding style.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

From the looks of your signature you should have plenty of bottom end if the exhaust timing in your portwork isn't too high.Try putting some timing in it,this will help your bottom end alot.I didn't really notice alot of difference with the spacers in or out.

Reed spacers are a bottom end mod and cost you top end. What you should really do if you really really want some bottom end is have custom pipes made. Also, whats your exhaust duration? like fbombers said, the more exhaust duration the higher your powerband.

On a side note. If you get bored one day you can try to make your old stock pipes into super bottom end pipes by cutting the belly section or apart then lengthening it. Keep stretching it till the power is right where you need it then if your feeling ballsy take what you learned and apply the same method to some better pipes.
