I'm betting the side without the curved reed stop was the one that was broken ?
both sides should have stops, but will run like it is, and does not matter which way you put it in

looks like a mix match one side curved one side flat?
maybe back in yz490 days lol i dont know to tell you the truth look at a parts diagram for that engine/year/i would think they would be the same and not mixed matched research it i guess

the curved stops make the reeds not flutter at high rpm...some say it will even stall at high rpms with the flat stoppers/others say they notice a power increase....i would stick with curved and look for power elsewhere....

all the ones i see on e bay ect have both side's CURVED....so you got a MIXMATCH BUD

looks like boysen dual stage petals on a stock cage.

not sure V-force makes reeds for that old 490 ?
you have to buy the whole cage/petals if they do.
