hello all ds riders!

i have a 05 ds 650 x with a pro circuit exhaust, k&n, white bros cdi. i am wondering what type of paddles to go with i want hill shooting and drag racing.
650 viper told me 22x10x10 8 paddle but i think he ment 22x11x10 8 paddle does this seem right? do i want to go with skat trak extreems? or haulers?

thanks for all your help [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] tim

 

Anyone 22x11x10 8 paddles??????

 

22x11x8 for racing.

22x11x10 for duning.

 

extreme or haulers???? 8 paddle ????

 

I run a 22x11x10 regular Hauler with 8 paddles. I like them alot and I don't think you can use a 8" rim without changing your rear hubs...not sure though. I should have gone with the extremes, but didn't know any better when I bought them. Anyone know why the extremes are supposed to be better for the DS? I thought they have the same paddle height.

 

also guys where can i get them fairly cheap? rocky mountain atv dont have extremes only haulers

 

Sorry man, got busy and forgot to double check.

yes 22x11x8. But you will need to cut them for yammy or honda pattern.

Extremes always. If you want them for just racing, get the triple buffs.
If you want a good tire for both racing and duning, get the double buff. If you dont want to cut the hubs, get 22x11x10. They will fit a Ds wheel.
You cannot get them from rocky mountain. You would need to call a place like Fullertons, or Jims. They are not cheap. You should look to spend over 300 bucks for either pair. But you will be glad you did it.

If you buy haulers, you will be replacing them by next year if you ride much.
Rocky Mountain does sell Extremes. If you need a cheaper pair, get their 20x10x10.

 

650VIPER...just curious as to why you say you would be replacing the Haulers in a years time. Is the durability the only benefit of the extremes? I've had my haulers for about 3 years..but that only translates into about 10 dune trips, and they still look great.

 

I have destoyed a set of haulers...they were not brand new, but they had no flaws when I put them on. I only rode in sand. The paddles ripped/tore off in a couple trips out. I have heard that the DS's torque and weight are very hard on haulers. I run sand stars now and have had no problems at all and very impressed with the hookup. See my sig for size.

 

I think yours have lasted because of the amount of time you have on them. As Baja said, they will tear at the base of the paddles, and fold over. I have been there and done that too. These are pretty heavy machines, as you know, and they hook up well. The Extremes were Skat Traks remedy for that problem.
