Aftermarket reed options
One of the first things that *most* Polaris owners like to do is V-Force reeds. For a while now, Al & myself have opted to take another route. On the domestics, we've been using the snowmobile reeds found in the Polaris Fusion model. They are W style reeds like the V-Force, but can be had at a much lower price. Some modification is necessary to the manifolds. I've only done this on the aftermarket manifolds, but see no reason why it couldn't be done to the stock manifold. A horizontal groove needs to be cut for the reeds to sit flush with the manifold. If for some reason there wasn't enough material on the stocker, I'm sure it could be built up with JB Weld or Devcon or something similar. It's a simple task for the money savings in my mind. I also like the fact that the Fusion reeds come with a vulcanized rubber lip (so-to-speak) for sealing purposes. I'm sure Al can jump in here and add a few things.
