My cousin was searching for a cost effective alternative to the hauler for his 01 banshee. He found it in a company from cali called kings paddle. Their molded paddle was about 200 shipped to Michigan. It is easily the best molded paddle I've ever seen for drag racing. He made quick work of yfzs, other shees, raptors, preds, ds's, and more. Many of them with more mods and running haulers and extremes. He apparently got the info from bansheehq. Just thought I would let others out there know that there is a happy meduim between expensive haulers and the traditionally cheaper, but much slower, molded paddles.

 

what size was he running and how many paddles? also what does he have done to his bike?

 

Its an 01 shee w/ boost bottle, fmf gold pipes, turbine core silencers, cobra sparkys, and I believe reed spacers.

Its a 20" tire with 8 paddles. Here's the website link. Kings Tire Paddles

They were on douglas blue labels (.125)

 

thanks

 

those look like GBC straight paddles...how much do they weigh?

 

They are much stronger than the gbcs I've seen. I'm not sure on the exact weight, but they are similar to 20" sand stars I believe. They spent most of the time on the shee so I didnt get to do much weighing. Check the website link I put up, the info might be there.

 

HAULERS ALL THE WAY, if you want the best hook up, just my own two cents
