limegreen780 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 25-11-8 14 taller hauler paddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350duner Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 On my gpz600 powered LT250 I run 22" 10 paddle taller haulers. They could make use of a little more hook but it's ok for now. A friend who built a gpz750 powered LT500 is using 25" 14 paddle taller haulers and it launches great. I'd go with 25" 14 paddles and definately get taller haulers. Street bike motors have so much bottom end and a smooth powerband that they love the tallers. Your swingarm sounds a little long so I don't think you need to worry about too much traction since it's back there so far. The weight of the engine keeps the front end down, a real long swingarm isn't really necessary. I'm only running a +5 on mine and my buddy has a +9 on his, and we probably couldn't wheelie if we tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandnureyez Posted April 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 really? the +12 swingarm over kill? man I just want to be safe..Im still waiting on a swingarm so I can change it right now..I was thinkin that I was gonna use the 25 for sure but taller haullers? someone told me they are too much of a paddle to use but he probably didnt have a street bike motor in his quad..thanks for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350duner Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 If you already ordered a +12 then there's no need to cancel the order or anything, but it's probably a little bit overkill. Taller Haulers suck on 2 strokes with peaky powerbands (especially banshees) but they are practically a must on a street bike powered quad. The tall paddles will cause most 2 strokes to bog but the 4 cyl motors have so much torque that they work awesome. Hell, I can launch my gpz powered quad in 3rd gear and it doesn't bog (little hard on the clutch tho!). If you go with 14 paddles then regular hauler extremes might be ok, but with 12's i'd get tallers. Your bike sounds awesome! I'd like to see some pics and hear how it runs when it's done. There are pics of mine at: http://hometown.aol.com/oregon350r/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
