Reeds and reed blocks

hello there,

i have a Motorhispania RX50/Peugeot XR6 and have already had the carb re jetted and a MK 'Race' exhaust put on. i was wondering if i was to put a 'big bore' reed block, carbon reeds and a high flow air filter on my bike would it make that much difference? also would it be more likly that the bike would blowup or be damaged?

thanks in advance.

Don't waste your money, get a 70cc kit if you want more power, NOTHING makes a bigger difference.

Theres no point putting it all on, the standard engine is designed to work best with the standard parts, the reedblock doesn't really become restrictive until you're running bigger cylinders really.

21mm Carb kit is an option, or like I said, for best power increases just save up for a 70cc kit, nothing else will get near as much of an increase
