Default Just picked up my 2011 700LTD (not real impressed with the size)

Nothing mechanical, it has plenty of power, but compared to my 2006 650V2 it looks like a kids ATV. I have 27" Swamplites and rims here Wednesday, is it the tires? Or did they really shrink these things down? My wife even commented on it, "why does it look so much smaller than your previous one?" My V2 just looked meaner with a wide stance and taller. Was this from the tires? I sure hope so! Overall I like the power and it's comfortable, but it lacks that "CAT MEAN" look.

it's the tires man, mine looked smaller to until i put the 27's on it. especially how wide the aftermarket tires are compared to the stock ones. and get a clutch kit it will make you like it alot more once you get the tires on it.
