Will I have Problems with 22" Paddles on a DS650?
#1
I just ordered a set of 22" Haulers for my DS 650 will these clear my rear fenders? If not??? What do I have to do to run the 22 inch Haulers?
Thanks,

When I put my haulers on for the first time i tore both heel guards off. The paddles will grab and pull them under the tires if your suspension compressed enough. This can be easily avoided by cutting off the ears that stick out toward the side at the top of the heel guards. If your suspension is set up firm and your not a real heavy guy you wont have a problem. I had my suspension set up soft for my 40+ aching back.

I run 22X10X11 extreme hauler on my 04 with the stock swing arm. No problems here! I would not recommend anything else[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Replace those palstic heel guards with the aluminum ones. My 20" paddles tore them up good! I also have the suspension pretty plush as my aching back needs it!

My 21x11x10 Gecko's tore off the ears on my 02 Baja. We set up a huge high speed (4th-5th gear wide open) dune track at Oceano aka"pismo". It has a huge 50' V drop in it, as you dive to the bottom of the V and punch it! this is where the ears got ripped off!

I'd say most people wont have a problem with the 'ears.' If you are one of the few that think you might, just trim them off first, then you'll not have to worry about it and by trimming them off before there is damage you can get a really nice cut & have it look good & not hacked. Though, the quality of the trim job really depends on how well you do it & if you do a bad job it'll still look hacked. On my 2001, I have the ears trimmed and one side looks 'perfect' (at least for the cut I was attempting) and the other side is almost right......
