I put the reeds on the cage and I can see a little light at the tip, I flipped them over with the same result. I noticed on my cage theres a black rubber coating that seems to make the stock reeds fit better. Do I need to scrape the rubber coating down to get them to fit? Any tips that you other guys came across would be great.

I had TDR reeds on my RZ350 for a little while. Is the gap very small with just visible light? The pressure wave at the intake when the piston goes down should shut them firmly against the cage. I would just install them as is.. That's my opinion anyway.

it's about half a mill or smaller I was thinking the same thing, all the other sides look good. by the way your gauges look great on my S1b

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing or not but I had a problem with my RD350LC first thing I checked was reeds and I noticed that when I held the cage up to the light I could see maybe .5 mm of light coming in from the flaps, I also flipped them and it was still the same, this does not seem to matter, at least on my bike because the reads worked perfect, I even bought new ones and it was the same, one more thing I had mentioned it on this site and a few guys, who I can honestly say know way more then I do, well thats not saying much, everyone here knows more then I do :-)hahaha, but they had said that little bit is not the problem at all, they were right. I hope that helps

It is not a problem,
the reeds don't "seal" really, they bounce open and closed.
