    What Size Paddles for Drag Only 86' 250R

    Its a ESR 310 stock swinger bike as we speak. It will be getting a out of frame FTZ pipe and +6 swinger. I am thinking about running a 21x12x8 8 paddle hauler.

    What are you guys running with similar combo's.

    The sand varies from weekend to weekend. Its old lead mine tiffs and not really "real" sand per say. It hold water real well and sometimes can be packed, but for the most part is pretty lose.

    Straight line only and I'm pretty set on a Skat-Trak tire.

    Also if you could post some pics with your tire combo's that would be great.

    Thanks,
    Bryan

    I would go with 10 paddle haulers or 8 paddle extremes. 8 paddle haulers are somewhat tame, so with a drag pipe and carb and swinger you will probably still spin them. I am guessing your riding little Sahara? I run 10 paddle skat trak edge on my 100% stock 86 atc250r and it does great all around.

    for drag only, straight line, you definatelly want a 22-11-8 tire. the stock length swinger has to go to run a decent paddle without just skying the front everytime

    My bike is a similiar motor combo, but on alky and very healthy. The arm is a plus 10, 10 paddle hauler 22-11-8. No problem turning them and will still lift the front on occasion.
