Default New Raptor 700SE - what do I need besides paddles & nerfs?

Thanks for the info!

I'll get the paddles and nerfs first and then start saving my pennies for the other goodies. Hopefully the pred sells soon, then I can get the fun stuff sooner [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'll check out those other sites for more info too.

Are those the big bore barkers on the first bike bigned.
Very nice dodge, I do alot of differnet kinds of riding. Florida doesn't have much in dunes but alot of sand and mud which paddles work wonders on. I was very impressed on how my fci box prevents water from entering. I covered it with k&n cloth and outwear and have had less problems with it being wet then when I had stock box with the lid.

i dont think so. i think they are the reg barkers. the big bore barkers dont do much unless u are running 812+cc big bore anyhow. that bike is a kenz 797.

Gave up on your own thread??????[img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]

Don't shy away from haulers too soon. The preddie and the rappie handle way different. You almost should try a few different tires before, purchasing. I have a set of sand stars for mine, that I bought for Moses. They work fine for there, but they SUCK at Winchester. They are heavy and don't like to spin.

Give the Hauler Edges a thought. Light weight and turnability. When my ol Haulers finally die, I will go to Edges.

No patience for the drama on the old thread.

Argh! I wish I had seen your message sooner. I ordered the sandstars on black itp wheels and the pro armor black nerfs. They should look hot on the quad!

I do have a set of ragged haulers that are not on wheels. I might just mount those on the stock wheels and do a little comparing. If I like them lots more gooder, then I can always get them too.

TP, we'll be at Florence 4/6-11 and then Winchester for the SWR clean-up. I can try both sets of sand tires then.

I am stoked about this - I traded the green dually & 1500 for it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I didn't really care about the color - I just new I wanted one. Especially after changing the spark plug on my pred - good grief! You had to remove the front plastic, pinch lines, lift the gas tank just to get to it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

We are in the Tacoma WA area.
