Like a 99 cent taco, you cant go wrong. How often will you find something so cheap but so great? Of course these arent gonna turn your stock bike into a race winner... but tested on stock cylinder with jammy, and there was a noticable difference through full RPM range... and they really seem to shine with a kit/pipe/carb.. my stock reeds were sloppy after 40 years on this earth... but I think these are a great buy for any hobbit, even if you are just swapping from good shape stock reeds... such a cheap easy upgrade, skip the 6 pack and grab em (yea beer is expensive where I live)

78 Honda nc50, vm20, wizard 7-port, mlm people's exhaust, stock reed block and arrestor (curvy metal part that backs the reeds). I didn't forsee the thick reed being so stiff (won't flap till engine is over 4k). Big intake+big carb+small reed opening at low rpm and full throttle=loss of vacuum in intake, which means loss of velocity through venturi. No velocity past the venturi means you engine isn't sucking gas out of the float bowl.
Result? Impossible to tune carb between 1/8-full tilt at low revs so i switched back to stock reeds and all my problems are gone. Once revs were up past 3k, everything was golden. Going .4mm single stage reeds next, will report.
Side note: After some maths (area of thin reed opening vs area of venturi x-section) I'd wager you could probably get away with using the reed mount bar that comes with it (I was using the long curved stock one), but for my setup I would recommend a carb no larger than 17-18mm with an intake to match.

I had 70cc with a bigger carb n exhaust... and the stock reeds were obviously restricting... I threw these boyseens in there, and im happy bashtard. If you have a kitted hobbit, you need one of these... ya dingus

Maybe I just weight too much, but I didn't really notice a difference going from stock reeds to these.
