which paddles would be better? 8 or 9 paddle haulers? Opinions please.. I'm thinking of just getting the regular haulers for mine, but I'd like to know which number of paddles would work best.

as always, thanks for your time, fellas

8 paddles shoud be more than enough unless your primary goal is to race others going up hill.

Remember, with more than 8 paddles you may need to upgrade your clutch system....

stick with the 8 paddle haulers, I had them on my old bike and worked great! With the 9 it`s harder on the motor, it put`s a great load on the motor all the time trying to move them! But some people get away with them!

Yeah, what they said

I have always run 8 paddles. They'll still be plenty I you decide to have some porting done.

Yep 8 paddle, unless u decide or know your going to upgrade the engine and drag

uh... could you guys make up your mind?? 8 or 9?? sheeesh!!

HAHAHA... thanks, fellas!!

get 10 paddles for a little extra

stock shee motor id do the 8's but if ur gonna port i would do 10's... buddy has a mildy ported shee with 10 paddle haulers and they run very smooth



my 2 cents

I don't know why anyone would use anything over 8 paddles unless there on a full on race bike. Using 9's just lugs down the motor and there's no benefits to using them...

I have been using the hauler 9 paddle for 3 years on a Alba special banshee and have had no problems with abnormal wear on the clutch or lugging on the engine. That might be the reason no one ever wants to follow me

U dont need paddles :roll: Just kidin go with 8

No special is Special Ed, not handicap :pimp:

:? :? :?

we have two seasons with 10's on our 98 Banshee(Pipes,Filter,Reeds,Jetting) with no problems,and we have 1 season with 10's on our 01 Banshee(Pipes,Filter,Jetting), with no problems, and its not fun to ride behind either one of them

U know how retards are in special ed and handicaps are in wheel chairs

Sal, I don't have a banshee but I do run 22 X 10 X 10 haulers with 10s and I have had clutch issues. The DS is Heavy and I am not a small guy this may be a contributing factor to the clutch wearing out. But the ability to pull the front end of that bike off the ground with just the tourqe in 2nd and 3rd is worth the hassel of changing a clutch every 2 years. And I have the same problem of no one wanting to follow me. Wrench

Wrench ,
I do have a Banshee and everytime I pass you I don't see much of a roost just alot of needlepoint.

BURNED

Just my 2 cents.....I ran 9 paddle haulers on my banshee and loved them. When I bought mine, I was talkin to a local sand tire guy (Daryl Smith) and he said that the 8 paddle haulers were better for top speed (less overall drag) and the 10 paddle were better fro drag racing (better overall bite), and the 9 paddle were a compromise. That's what I went for, since I love to run the drags, but don't have a DRAG bike. As far what these guys are rappin bout, clutch problems boggin motor...etc, had none of those problems. I loved those haulers, and would recommend them to anybody.

SAL what I mean by "special" is that is the alba with pipes jetting proflow adapter and k&n with outerwear probably the same as you have. The only mods I have done is put the carbon fiber reeds and boost bottle. And the thing that makes the most HP is the 6 PACK RACK :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: !!!!!

STAY WITH 8 IT WILL MAKE THE CLUTH LAST LONGER
