I've never messed with reeds. Any input on these two choices? What are they?

left looks like standard Boysen Dual stage reeds..
Right looks like Standard Boysen single stage reeds
I had a set of the standard Dual stage reeds in my 87 K5... worked like a charm... smoothed out the bottom end compared to stockers.. (worn out stockers) and seemed to make more top end...

The reeds on the left look like Boyessen dual stage reeds & the others a standard fiberglass reed.

If your going to run one of these sets I would run the 2 stage reeds on the left with the reed stops off of the right cage . Open the reed stops up as far as you can and them still go into the cylinder . this will give you the benefit of duel stage reeds without reed flutter

The bosysen dual-stage reed instructions say to leave out the reed stops entirely. Mine are in my toolbox. Cam.

Would flutter only be an issue at top end?

Yes, a light reed is good for bottom end, & stiff for top end as they are more resistant to flutter.

So the dual stage reeds are the hot ticket then? Since I don't do much WFO riding, I don't think I'll need the cage regardless.
Thanks guys for all the prompt help.
Now if I can just identify that shock...........................
