HAve you looked at vForce yet? Remember, you get what you pay for.

Save your money and get what you want! It's not like you can ride it until November or so!

How much are OEM's?? It's not like after-market reed petals are going to make a major difference............

They definitely make a difference! Every set of aftermarket carbon fiber reeds have installed have made the sled have much "snappier" throttle.
