Default Cheap Triple Stage Reed Mod

*** Originally created by davation at pocketbikeplanet.com **

Materials needed:
-Two stock reeds (or one stock and one carbon-fiber or fiberglass)
-Dremel or tin snips (I used tin snips)
-Sharpie marker
-File or grinder bit for dremel

Very easy mod to do - this is all it takes:

-Use the Sharpie to mark one reed to resemble the top reed on a Black Widow triple stage reed set.
-Remove the excess material using your dremel or tin snips.
-Once you have cut the sides of the reed down to resemble the Black Widow reed, smooth out the edges using a file or dremel grinder bit.
-Install on your reed block BETWEEN full reed and reed stop - you will be layering this reed over a full-sized reed.
-Take bike out for a test run

Performance increase: lessen top end flutter, smooths out powerband.

For additional performance value:
-While reed stop is out, shave down underside of reed stop (curved part) so that reeds can open further.
