CAJUN BANSHEE Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Wondering what size tires to run on 300' sand. I had 22x10x8 12p extremes on my stk cyl 4mil on stock chassis with a + 6 swinger and they did great, but now I have a 421 being built and and I put a +12 arch swinger and all marvins set up for 220lb rider. If anyone has this similar set up I need sum input cause these tires aren't cheap. Thanks for any replies fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has this similar set up I need sum input cause these tires aren't cheap. Thanks for any replies fellas I would start with what you have & get a baseline. That's if you still have them same paddles. While our set-up is not exactly the same, it could provide you some insight. We have a stock frame 443 cub on race gas with a 210 + lb. rider & a +14 swingarm. Our 1st time on 300' with our old 22x11x8 12 paddle extremes on a 8" wide rim. We got deep into the 3s, but we did have some traction problems in 3rd & 4th gears. Our 2nd & 3rd times to 300' we bought 22x11x8 14 paddle Rippers on a 10" wide rim. I'm not recommending Rippers, but giving you information on what we have done. BTW we love the Rippers, but they are not for everyone.

Fastassbanshee96 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Cajun if you are going to be getting rid of the 12p extremes I might be interested on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your running gas I would highly suggest 12p extreme tripple buff on10- 12 over. If you going to run methanol...14p extreme triple buff with a 10-12 over. Hauler paddles will fold over bigtime on a good running 421...Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And k&t is the builder so hopefully she will run hard. At least harder than my stk cyl 4mil. thanks for the info Passion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I will have to play with that a bit, just looking for a starting point. For the record I'm a 220lb rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAJUN BANSHEE Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Would'nt u do better with struts than shocks The dunes round here can get a bit.bumpy on the way to the strip, plus I like to venture out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Would'nt u do better with struts than shocks that's what I wrote too on another thread without reading this. At SL...the drag bikes we put in the back of the truck and bring to the drag strip. However, it's whooped out normally so a strut would put you ass over tea kettle real fast. I saw the pictures in another post, so It looks like it's lights, timers and relatively flat. If you can get your car/truck into the dunes, I'd bring a strut just to see what it could do.

shanYE west Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I had a stout 421 back in the day.. I ran 13 ext on 8x8's. Gearing was 15/42 or 14/40.. I'd jump between the 2 depending on the track. I was about 220ish also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 421 was a raped ape.../ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
