Just a little opinion here but I thought I would share. I have been toying with widening the stance on the BF for a while and finally did it. New set of ITPs C4. Stock tires until I wear them a little more.

Bottom line. It is as if I bought a whole new quad. This bit of widening makes all the difference in the world. I ride in the Rockies and am off camber alot. Have always been mindful of sideways situations before. Now I am 10 times more confident in riding. It has transformed it into a ride that is as stable as my Prairie and almost as my Foreman. Why they come from the factory so narrow is beyond me. I guess they want them to fit into compact trucks? Possibly due to some trails having a 50 inch max width like some up here? I just don't know.

What this did to my BF...Steers with a little more effort, although the trail does not try to "steal" it from you by any means, seems to powerslide even a little less some how, and the front preloads have to be backed off to get the same type of ride. Was on firmest setting, now on 2 and seems good at this spot. The overall feel is that it really hooks up when gassed. So if you like spinning the rears and sliding, the ITPs make that a little harder. My guess is that they add a little more weight as they are definitly heavier than stock rims.

My advice, if you want a much different, better handling machine, get some new wheels or spacers. I couldn't be happier with mine.
If anyone wants me to measure my front and rear stance with stock tires and the C4 rims let me know. It took me a while to get this info and I was originally worried that they would be too wide or not wide enough.

 

I run 5" wheels spacers on the rear of my Brute, 2-1/2" a side. Mainly to to keep out of other ATV ruts in the mud. I agree, it works wonders to the handling of the machine.

I think your right. I just put mudlites26" and c-5's on mine and while I have yet to take it out(put them on thursday). I noticed the quad wobbles hardley at all when you grab a rack and shake it side to side. On the stock shoes it was like it was sitting on an under filled waterbed. I'm 3" wider than stock now and cant wait till next weekend.

 

Had my out for a short 40 mile ride this morning before the Lightening scared us off of the mountain that we were on.
The ITP Type 4 wheels in combo with a much better aftermarket tire it make your BF750 handle great.
Want to make it even better?
Spend the $780 and put on a set of the "WORKS" Steeler dual-rate shocks, you won't be dissapointed.
The dampening/rebound on these "WORKS" is perfect, 100% improvement over the stockers.

 

I posted a thread earlier about this top heavy problem Kawi BFs have. With a little over 120 guys in our ATV club we have been lucky enough to experiment with wheel tire combos on different units. We have found that running the 660 Grizz wheels with decent 6 ply's work great, expecially in rocky terrain. 99% of our riding is in very rocky terrain and most trails are very off camber. We like to run 12x8's on the rear and 12x7 on the front. Most guys run Douglas rear aluminum rims with steel rims on the front. We like having the extra weight up front for the very steep hill climbing we have to do. Just a couple of things we were able to do with our BFs.

I am running 26x9 fronts & 26x10 rears with the ITP type 4 wheels, this has proven to be perfect for my riding. Mixture of rock, ruts & flat out dirt roads/trails.

 

BFB75BF, When you say the Works shocks give you "perfect damping and rebound" what does that mean in ride performance and comfort? I think my Brute with ITP type C wheels and 26" Holeshoy ATR's rides too stiff and rough. I would like some of the smaller bumps soaked up by the shocks, rather than transmitted through the seat and handlebars while still being able to take the bigger bumps without bottoming out. Do your Works give you that kind of ride. I can get Works Steelers through my dealer for $660.00.

 

I ride wheelies alot with mine and my only complaint is that when I have the machine up for an extended period it starts to wobble. You think this would help me keep the bike more stable.

 

When trying to decide what ATV to buy, the only problem I had with the BF750 was the fact that it felt top heavy and wobbly. I went ahead and got the BF750 and got the dealer to add the winch and ITP wheels and 26" Mudlites. After getting home and riding it with the new tires, it is a totally different machine. The Mudlites don't roll as much as the stock tires, and all of the wobbly feeling is gone. I would highly recommend some stiffer tires than what comes stock on the BF750.

 

Bruteboy299:
I ordered my WORKS directly thru WORKS Suspension & by doing so, yes, I paid a little more but these WORKS are set-up perfect for what I use my BF750 for. The dampening on these New WORKS is right on. The WORKS Fronts are set-up different than the WORKS rears.(the stock Kawie Shocks are the same on ALL 4 corners) When I placed the order thru "WORKS", the WORKS salesperson knew his stuff, ask all of the ?s that he needed to know on how my BF was set-up, like winch, avg weight on frt rack, weight on rear rack & my weight. Also what type of riding I do & the type of country I ride in. He took that info & dailed in these WORKS Steeler AT dual-rate shocks Perfectly.
I always felt my Stock BF750 rode a bit stiff for IRS, not comfty as my Cat 650 was but the Cat is another Story.
For IRS, the BF750 in stock set-up is Stiff, not now with the WORKS AT Steeler Dual-Rate Shocks.
The ride now is more comfy not as smooth as my last Cat 650 but much better than before. I can hit fairly good size drop-offs on the trail & the WORKS suspension soaks it up & gives no negitive feed-back to me thru the handlebars or the seat. None of that handlebar jarring feeling anymore, complete controll, It is welcomed.
Along with the ITP Type 4 wheels/26" Mudlite Tires, I really feel like my BF750SE "WORKS" is set up perfect.
Presently my WORKS are just the Basic Steeler AT Dual-rate Shock, No Reservoirs, No Preload adjusters, as I am going by the WORKS salesman suggestions. His ?'s & my answers is my reason not to order the res's or the preload adjusters But if I feel I need the remote Reservoirs, then they can be added on at anytime. Same goes for the preload Adjusters, you can build these shocks up over time to fit your budget, if needed.
