Erich, do me a favor since I am testing out the venom piston for ya, you should have your sand stars shaved and tell me how it does. There is some guys over at ATVTECH.net that did that with great results.

I have a friend that really wants them, I'm not sure how he would feel about it.  But if I can talk him into it this weekend we will do that and test it out when we are there for the rally.

I think an 8pdl hauler will work great for you! I like th way the 8's perform on my 686. Makes it really fun to dune yet it is still fairly competative at the hill :thumbs:

8 paddle haulers would scoot your big ass across the sand like crazy with the power your bike has.

They shaved off 5 pounds per tire!!!

I want the dune/trail ability of the V-paddle and the grip of a stright paddle.
Just a little 81hp trail bike.

The Sandstars are a great tire for the recreational rider. When you get into knarly treeshots, or dragracing, just the reduced rotating mass of the Skat's make them worth the money, not to mention the increadible traction. :thumbs:

My buddy had stars on his Predator in Walden this weekend, I had Haulers.  He could carve much better than me, but for hills or drag racing, the haulers rocked.  :grin_nod:
