  1. Confirmed that the $20 off $150 works. Used it just now. Thanks for sharing guys.
  2. Ok so when I bought my banshee it had a pretty good dent in the right front wheel. Found one on fleabay for 20 bucks shipped to replace it. Got it the wheel and it is the right bolt pattern but is about 3/16" inch smaller in diameter (something like 11 1/4 vs 11 1/16th) and half an inch narrower than my good wheel on the left side is (6.0 vs 5.5"). Outside width is the same it is the inner side of the wheel that is a half inch narrower. Do you think that's enough to make it steer or track funny enough to notice? I will replace it eventually but broke right now with all the other stuff I have put into it and would like to get a season out of it if I can. Unless someone has a 10x6 front for 20 bucks shipped or less :biggrin:
  3. Thanks Chase, I found a set of sand stars locally tho so going to go with them.
  4. Looking to buy a set of rear Sandstars 20x10x10 or close to that. Or a set of Skat Trak Haulers 8 or 9 paddle 21x11x10. Need them mounted with rims and in good shape for no more than $150.00 shipped to 74066. Would consider some in rougher shape for less but can't afford any more. I have done a lot of tire research and had some help form folks here on the board as well and am pretty set on on these two only. Pm if you have some you can pass down for that price. Tapped out on cash after this restoration or I would just buy a new set for $195 Thanks Bob
  5. Would 21x12x8 8 paddle haulers give me trouble powersliding, donuts, bowl shooting etc? I know they would be good dragging and I was going to go with the 10 inch wheels but found a good deal on a set of 8's not sure if they are right for me tho as I would drag less than 10% of the time.
  6. Thats kind of what i was afraid of, a deal is only a deal if it's what you need. thanks guys
  7. Found a good deal on these mounted and have been searching and searching but not finding anything on an Edge with seven paddles. they are 21x12x8 7 paddle skat trak edges - what might I expect from these tires with my engine? Other factors are weight, I am big boy at 265lbs and like to play ride a lot more than draggin.
  8. What's your opinion and experience with off brand stuff? Like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...T&viewitem= No way they are real Haulers but nice price for brand new.
  9. Well cool, good info to keep in mind. I was thinking about going for these, but think I might hold out for a set of straight blades. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...T&viewitem=
  10. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Zachass9, I live in Sapulpa OK, about 10 miles SW of Tulsa. Been so busy working on the shee that I havent taken the time to fill out my profile. Need to take care of that asap. :biggrin: I was thinking about the 20x10x10 8 paddle extremes based on everything I had read so far, good to see I wasn't too far off. They aint cheap at all new but being pretty popular, should be able to find a used set. Jjn56, what part of SW Mizzou you from? I was born in Carthage and grew up around there and Miami ok.
  11. Hey guys, I am just getting back on a quad after almost 20 years off them. I am 40 and 6'2" and about 265lbs. and would consider myself an intermediate rider back in the day. Bought my nephews 99 banshee with FMF Gnarly Pipes, Cool Head (still trying to find out size from the original builder) a pretty aggressive port job, vforce 3 reed cage, K&N Proflow air system, not sure yet on bore. It seems run stronger than it should for relatively small amount of work done to it, so it may have more extensive mods I am not aware of. Like I said, still trying to contact the original builder who is known around tulsa as a banshee wiz, so I can find out what all he did to it. It is supposed to have been dyno'd at 73hp but I find that kind of hard to believe myself. It has stock wheels with ITP Holeshots on it right now and my nephew said they dropped the air in tires and slapped on a 17t front sprocket and stack rear 41, for last trip he took to Little Sahara with it and did pretty good there with the holeshots. I thought the 17t was extreme but he said it wouldn't hardly move with anything smaller, just sat and spun a hole. Anyway, I am restoring the girl and planning a trip out to little sahara ok in a month or so. I have only been there once many years ago on a 86 Quadracer 250 that was pretty much stock. I went with a pair of trail knobbies and let most of the air out and had a lot of fun. I am thinking about getting a set of rear paddles for the shee but don't want to drop an arm and a leg on a new set as with my family obligations I will still only make the trip a couple times a year. I am not into drag racing really, I like flat tracking and some hill climbing and bowl shooting. Just playing mostly. What would you all recommend I look for in a set of used or new economy tires/wheels? Size, number of paddles, brand etc. Bob
  12. Anyone ever drilled out a new set of holes in a 4x110 pair to make them fit the rears on a shee's 4x115? I am talking drilling out a whole net set of holes offset from the original holes, not trying to enlarge them. Don't think that would work too well.
  13. Good to hear. Think I will give it a try then.
  14. Wondering if anyone has any experience with painting their radiator a different color other than the usual radiator blacking. I didn't think it would be a good idea due to heat dissipation issues but found a site talking about duplicolor's new ceramic high heat engine paints. They have ceramic in them for heat dissipation. Even though it's mostly hidden, mine has overspray from the previous owner primering the frame and looks like crap. I am doing a lot of yellow accents on the restoration and thought about trying some of this in yellow. Would be a bitch to strip off though if did cause overheating issues. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html
