CK and ODB--How's the steering effort when locked and welded up? I ride most of the time in 2wd and just switch to 4wd at each hole. I wear that selector out, but I don't like the steering effort in 4wd between holes.

 

On soft pack and on trails it seemed to steer fine. I mean you can tell its locked,but no dramatic effort!

 

Cat500i- Locked front end

PROS-
------ If you do get stuck, you can almost always back out of it.
------ You will find you can go easier on the gas through a lot of holes because you know as long as that 1 front tire is on the ground it will still pull you out.
------Fun watching all other non IRS (locked or unlocked) bikes get stuck in stuff you just went through.
----- Your old lady and neighborhood kids will not want to ride it anymore.

CONS-
------ Harder to steer while stopped and turning in reverse.
------You are not going to ride with a cold beer in one hand and steer with the other one. It don't work trust me.
------It will have you searching for worse mud because you can go through all of the old bad holes with ease.
----- It will rip a good lawn to SHREDS. You should see my backyard.

When you get used to the way it handles there is no way you would ever go back to 3 wheel drive.
