For rims I would get the middle ones unless you are doing serious jumping. The thinner ones are lighter, but will dent fairly easy, its a trade-off of weight vs. strength.

I have 20 's on my raptor and I find that they don't hook up as well as my brother in laws 22's (both haulers). The rest of the in laws run 22's on their shees, so I would go 22x11 either 8 or 6 inch rims.

 

How about Gecko's are they any good and if so for what type of riding are they good for?

 

They're probably better than the sand sharks for all around duning.
I know someone that might have a set of geckos for sale.

 

Im sorry for all the noob questions guys..but thank you so much for the helpful info you guys have given to and my friends.

Last but not least..On the front paddles...They have two design..The dune razor..with the straight line all the way down the middle. The second one is the Shark something ..looks almost the same..but has nobbys down the middle.

Whats the benefit of those two?

thanks

Get the mohawks (same as shark fin) they aren't so aggressive, the razors can be a bit twitchy.

 

advancegsxr, the rim level thicknesses are .125 (Blue Label), .160 (Black Label), and .190 (Red Label).
Just thought I woul let you know so you don't buy the "1.25" thinking they are the thickest. We'll get you taught yet. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

dont know if u have even looked into it but i run a taller hauler on my shee... if u are going with a hauler get taller haulers... i run a 99 piped twin k@n and a carb kit... dynoed at 49 horse to the rear wheel wich i feel is respectable for the mods... i havent found anyone when that will pull me the first 15 feet off the line... they hook up awesome... and wheelie even better... evern with a +6 swingarm... one thing that really changed the speed on my bike was to gear it down... u will loose some top speed but i run with bikes that i shouldnt just because if my gearing 13front 42 rear... and it is do low that it cant be sport ridden... about the only place i suffer is going down the flats wide open... i dont like to blow my bike up anyway..

 

I've seen the taller hauler in action and have something to say. Those things thow a lot of sand. They have a permanent roost. Just following a guy across the flats at 20mph, you'll need to give them 50 to 100 feet of room unless you want to be eating all that sand the tires are constantly throwing up. If you ride in groups, these might not be the best tires. Youl may end up drawing straws to see who has to follow the guy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
