Th anks for doin' it on DU NLO P) More cycles ride on Dunlop than a ny other tire in the world.~DUN.LOP The Logical Choice -..IM (fteIfRELEof WI C ." ,, ~.. Boyesen'~ Reeds give you bolt-on horsepower. Just ask the factories, or any top-name racer. Boyesen's revolutionary dual-stage reed design delivers more usable power than stock. And it' s taking the moto- cross world by storm. Your original one-stage reed operates most effectively only within a narrow RPM range. For good performance at low RPM, you need a soft reed that can open easily. But at high RPM, you need a rigid reed that can close quickly" , No one-stage reed can do both. That's why your original reed-and all one-stage reeds-are merely a compromise. Boyesen Racing Reeds feature dual action. One soft reed on top of one firm, flow-through reed gives you a wide range of effective intake control, plus increased intake velocity". Your original reeds can't possibly duplicate that performance .. .and that's the difference. Terry Clan ton ; 4 . Tr ac e Will is ; 5 . Joel Wi ndh a m ; 6 . Eddie M arsh all. JA S: 1.
