Confused, You know what's funny about all that? When it's a criminal wanted for murder[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] Your great country[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] who complains about them running north, won't send them back[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Unless, we promise, we won't punish them by the death penalty[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] No wonder they run up there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]If "you" don't want them, why do you give a ratz azz, what their punishment will be[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Skinner and Toyo, any suggestions on sand tires for the Z400? I don't want something that's going to give a rough ride[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] like side by side motion, etc. I'm not to concerned about the rear tires, but, looking for a front tire that will make turning a little easier[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Left shoulder isn't what it used to be[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Had to get a brace for it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Hoping it will help out while I go on my "sissy" rides[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I know straight paddles are for straight runs and the "v" pattern help in cornering and side hilling. Also, want something light[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]Going through the new Rocky Mountain catalog I just got in the mail.

Also, got the shaft by Suzuki, can't find aftermarket wheels for our 160[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Confused, you know any make out there that is a cross over? Bolt pattern is 4/112. Even if I have to drill out an existing bolt pattern. Tried calling several dealers who sell tires, no such luck[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Yamaha couldn't find anything for me either[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] If a bolt pattern is 4/110 and I have 4/112, will drilling out the 4/110 work to get it to a 4/112? A blaster wheel is 4/110. I am pi$$ed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

I'm running GBC Sand Sharks on the rear and stock knobbies up front. The dunes aren't the Warrior's strong point. 6th gear for everything it's worth is about 45MPH. 55MPH is the dirst speed. Those the paddles are 2" shorter so that's where most of the loss is from. Just abotu all of the manuf. make a front sand tire. If you are looking to help turn (obviously) get one of the solid ribbed ones. I'd hazard a guess to post in the Dune forum.

Toyo, I have no doubt yer a good rider and can go anywhere, i just figured you'd rather be pinned on the beach or going full throttle somewhere (which you won't see me doing). I didn't think you'd enjoy a slow trail ride. and if you pin it on trails where you don't have a clue what's coming the other way, well, that's not good either.. just a statistic waiting to happen. unfortunately, waiting to take someone innocent aswell doesn't register well in my books (not saying you would, just it could happen on the skinny/bushy/blind trails). [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Im like a GNCC racer. I stick to the woods man. I ride in the dunes a lil but i pretty much stay on the trails. My raptor only goes 60mph [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Its geared for woods. and i have big tires and full body armor and so forth. Woods woods woods. The whole fun of it is seein how fast you can go without hitting a tree.. I hit trees [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and try to go up stuff there is no way yer goin up and so on. our trails are 48" wide in the state land On the ranch we enjoy the luxurious 8'6 wide trails [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] And when i am flying down the trail i am always in (out of) control I can stop if somepins goin on and i look ahead if its blind i will slow and haul **** when i can see [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I dont really enjoy crashin with other people. only have 1 time on the quads and it was close to not bein pretty. Head on except it was his head on with myswing arm skid plate or rear tires [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] See i was commin at this jump one way and my brother the other and neither knew the other was goin at it and next thing he knew i was 20' in the air commin down on him and he pinned the throttle laid off the side and spun out and i landed and left tire marks down his handlebar pad, tank, seat, and fender. didnt hit him though. so ever since then i pretty much check stuff out before i do stupid stuff [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

MD I got sandstars on my rap for sand. And the rear tires get ALLOT OF TRACTION and the fronts as weel. Like side hilling the face of a steep dune I just drive straight across the face where as my buddy with his Hauler extremes could let the rear end drop down and slide the face. the fronts turn pretty easy but beware where you point them you go unless their not touchin the ground (wich is most the time on the rap with tractor gears) in such case beware more [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I will be gettin some hauler 8 paddles for the next time i hit the dunes so i can actually spin my tires. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] to keep the straight paddles from rocking side to side its important to line up the paddles. if the bolt pattern doesnt get eme lined up pull the hub and rotate it on the axle. and if your an old man with a weenie shoulder like me just get a steering stabilizer then you atleast dont get the bars ripped out your hands and it definatley dampens the bump steer. and for your LT160 or whatever gett differnt hubs?

Thanks for the reply guys[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I have haulers on the mojave and like them alot. I do line both sides up, so they are in tune[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Wife has sand skates on her quad, they are lined yp also, but, it still shudders at low speeds[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Toyo, didn't think of a steering stabilizer, will look into it.
I thought of changing the hubs out. Will have to find out what will fit the axle. Thanks again[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Off to the dealership

Mine shudders/vibrates/whatever you want to call it at low speed. A lot of paddles are going to do it. Especially at Pismo where the sand is harder. It's just going from tip of the paddle to the tire body. At speed you just don't feel it. It's REALLY bad if I'm down cruising the water line where you max out at 15MPH.
