You don't know why they are there?
Did you click on the weblink I posted? I thought it explained it pretty clearly.

There was actually a thread not so long ago, explaining what reeds were, but I couldn't find it.

Reeds are used as a one way flapper valve that lets the fuel charge flow from the carburator but snaps shut when the flow is reversed. Using reeds is a fast lightweight non mechanical way to do the job. The only down side is the reeds will chip or fray after a while. They are easy to replace though.
The Vforce, and Boyesson reed cages both claim to make better flow allowing more of a fuel charge. The Vforce even claims to better mix the air and gas with a swirling action. They claim to get more power and better throttle response. My experience with these claims is there is little change in either on a stock engine. At least not enough of a change to justify the price of a new reed cage.

Your link was more than informative. In fact I think it was more info than he was looking for. So I just gave him the summary I think he was looking for and my opinion of the Vforce reeds.
