[QUOTE="hondacr500af, post: 166668, member: 1399"] Ok, you all should be proud of me. I used the search option and found a bunch of info on helping me make my decision. V-force 3 vs. Boysen Rad Valve. I have had both the Rad Valve and the V-force Delta 2 reed systems. I know it is not the 3 but, they are made of the same material. I also found the same results with the power. At the time I chose to stick with the V-force Delta 2 over the Rad Valve. The V-force was what was in and gaining popularity quickly. I come to not like the composite material the V-force is made from. I had problems with over torqueing the manifold bolts and squishing the cage to the point of cracking. But, not just that, on the inside of the cage there is what can be described as erosion in the corners of the flanges. The reeds look to be burnt and frayed. which could be do to the fuel I burn. I will post pictures of the erosion spots when I get a chance. I believe The boysen Rad Valve is a much better material for this type of product. I think I will once again buy the Rad Valve and learn to love it for its dependability. Thanks for helping me make my decision. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
