89Steeda Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 I have an OLD 87 Banshee that has spent its whole life here on the Oregon dunes on a set of Sand Skate II's. Fresh top end with no porting. Just has OLD FMF Gold Series pipes, reeds and K&N. Nothing fancy. I've been thinking of going to Haulers but I don't know what size. 20's, 21's, or 22's? Any preferences? On a side note, the Skate II's will last forever if ridden ONLY in the sand and not from the middle of the North Bend bridge to Boxcar. Quote
wesw Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 i would get 20 i run 20-10-10 10 paddles haulers and havent had any problem. taller tires would make it go faster but would be harder to pull cause of the drag of the sand. so i wouldnt get them. Quote
got1banshee Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 This is a question that I had also. When I get my new engine what paddle do you guys recamend? I have never been in the sand so I don't know how a bike reacts. I am planning on trying other a 16/41 or 17/41 gearing and I will have a 15 with me just incase but I am told that I wont need it. In the sand I am going to get a +4 swimg, unless you guys recamend me not to But I will have to run stock just temperaraly. 2500 bucks on an engine makes for a low pocket book haha Quote
Big Blue Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Ive ran 20-10-10 8 paddle haulers on my warrior, raptor, and banshee and have liked them but i will probably swtich to a different size since im getting the motor done on my banshee right now. Quote
spoin39 Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 If you like to jump (big) the 10" paddles get flat spotted on the beads. I switched to 8" rims and don't have that problem anymore. If you don't do a lot of jumping then the 10" are fine. Quote
