SLORYDER Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I have a +8 swinger on my 10 mill duner and it works great. BUT I am running 11 paddle haulers and I can't keep the front end down. And I am goind to a 12 paddle extreme or 14 paddle hauler. So, I think I may hurt myself if I keep the +8, but I want to be able to have fun at the dunes and jump a little. How bad does a +12 mess you up in the dunes? Quote
shogs Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I'd imagine jumping a +12 stretched banshee would be sort of like trying to jump a crappy go kart (teeter totter effect). Just wait to wack the throttle till your farther in the powerband. Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 seriously? i wouldnt dune on anything more than a +6 but thats me. going from 8 to 12 is a pretty long stretch. are you seriously considering jumping with a +12 swingarm??? Quote

Now when I say jump, I mean, like maybe 5' off the ground at the most. And I am also concerned about being able to carve bowls too. Quote
Titan up Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Now when I say jump, I mean, like maybe 5' off the ground at the most. And I am also concerned about being able to carve bowls too. I've heard stretched rigid's are pretty good for duning. I think there only rated up to 4' off the ground though. Quote
SLORYDER Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) I've heard stretched rigid's are pretty good for duning. I think there only rated up to 4' off the ground though. On lonestar's website it says UP TO 12'. So I would think with shocks I should be alright......right? Edited February 16, 2009 by SLORYDER Quote

And I am also concerned about being able to carve bowls too. dude,i dont know much about sand and dunes(the closes sand to me is at south beach),but a +12 is for hill shoting or drag racing..not for jumping and carving bowls :: i would say stick to what you have Quote

SLORYDER Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 hahahahahahahahahahahaha f you guys f u in the a :biggrin: I guess I have a good idea on how the ride would be. I'm just trying to see if I can get someone to convince me otherwise. I love dragging, and I could be really compedetive with the motor I have, but I hate the thought of not being able to just go rip up the duned after I'm finished racing. I may just keep the setup I have now and make the best of it. Thanks guys. Quote
okbeast Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 It would suck. bad. you won't be able to carve anything except the trail to the drags. Quote
sheerider1026 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 WOW thats long. i have a 392 cub wit overide. i tried a +4 and swapped it out for a +2.. lol.. the +4 would spin too much .. the +2 is very interesting to ride though.. lol Quote
okbasspro Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 We can ride the dunes and shoot the hills but I WOULD NOT advise jumping. I caught air with mine on accident the front wheels are on the way down when the backend launches.It will make you wish you had a big red S on your underwear.I will be going to a shorter swinger as soon as funds permit.Same bike in pic but with 23x10.5x12 8 paddle haulers. :beer: Quote
