Anybody here used the new esr reed block setup? I've read a few things saying they are better then v-force and boyesen and I'd like to hear some opinions from you guys that have used them

I just got their new cage. Just fired up the engine. I'll give you some input in a bit.

I will say, I can't speak of the performance yet. But the fit and finish is a thing of beauty.

I had v force then boysen and now esr and honestly on seat dyno I cannot tell the difference in any of them.

I have vforce3 as well as ESR. IF I have time one day I will run them on the dyno and see if there is a difference. I'm guessing not much, or it wont be repeatable.
The ESR is damn nice looking though.

Cool thanks guys... I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a new boyesen setup today to replace my Duncan pyramids, hopefully I notice a difference

I agree with these guys. I really don't think you will notice much of a different on the butt dyno between different reed cages. Atleast I know I haven't anyway. I have ridden on the ESR cage yet, but I never noticed much difference between the vforce and the rad valve. You may see a difference on an actual dyno, but I don't think you would notice it if no one told you. Go with what fits better for your build: price, appearance, and fit. I will say that I did have better longevity out of the rad valve carbon fiber reeds than the vforce ones. I am now trying the ESR cage and carbon fiber reeds.
