so im going to pick up a paddle tire tonight& in stall it tommorrow.my chain is about half waypiont on the  adjustment, will i need to put a link in my chain? i dont have a mud flap(if that gives any room)

dsrtrider:
fyi  this is a link for flag mounts if you dont have one yet

i think there is another link for a shock cover if your mud flap has to be removed.  may want to increase compression clickers to better handle the sand

turtle22:
thanks, but i made a flag mount in the shop(looks homemade but it will work). thanks on the other info. i will check it out :-)

my advise would be the same as BDI's, to not go cheap on the fuel. you will want all the power your bike can give and pump gas won't cut it. if your not running the mudflap/shock protector then i would for sure come up with something to protect the shock shaft from sand damage. you'll definitely want to clean that salty sand off of everything you can when you are done riding.   MADDOGGY

having done a few beach races over in UK ive found a few tips to keep you going,1, find a old bicycle inner tube 1"diameter and cut into 3 2"lengths put them over your kickstart pivot and both footpegs,2, use filter skins if your out there for a while,easier to pull off and keep going then to fanny around changing filters and risk sand in the carb,3, use a 1.8bar rad cap cos its gonna get hot! 4,use a pair of the old ladies tights over your rads keeps most of the sand out and you can just rip them off when full up! 5, take spare pair of pads for the rear(sand eats them for breakfast) hope any of my ideas help you!!!! :evil:
