M7FREAK Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Need help choosing what paddles to run. I currently have skat trak haulers 20x10x10 8 paddle. My bike is fairly stock. It has T-5 pipes, cool head, +4 swingarm, runs 50/50 92 and race fuel. Gearing is 13 front 41 rear and I weigh 285. Obviously I don't drag race with it and don't really hill shoot much either. Should I try a V paddle or stick with the hauler? What size? Is 22" to tall in an extreme??? Thanks in advance!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beez33 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think you have a pretty good setup. I don't think you would be happier with v paddles. Just stick with what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 A +4" swingarm usually needs quite a bit more tire than those 20" 8 paddles and the 10" wheel hurts too. A stock motor on a bike with a +4 swingarm/285lb rider kinda needs bigger tires but doesnt have a ton of HP for a lotta paddle. For that setup I would think a 21x12x8 7 paddle will float and hook much better with a 285lb rider. I personally like the 21x12x8 tires , they are very close in size to the 22s but are noticeably lighter. The 21" is much larger and will float much better than those 20s on a 10" wheel. No V paddles with a +4. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
