Oh yea, I can't wait to see the rigs! I am trying to convinve my dad to go for the 28's on the Sportsman, but I think he is too worried about drive line parts. But who wouldn't....

co'mon Adam,
You can talk him into it... just tell him to put steering limiters on it and a Power Kit and GO FOR IT!!!!...
Ya know though.. we're gonna have to do something to these 22" tired Scramblers to even get from the camping areas to the MudPit.. hehehehe...

Maybe I can get one of those dual-tire kits, and run my stock ties AND my new ones. That way I can float, and be wide enough to ride on top of the big ruts. Hmmm...

About the steering limiters... It doesn't look like it would be hard to rig somthing up. What did that guy on the Xplorer 500 you talked about do?

You got a Magnum now, put the 28's on it!

The 28" Vampires will be going on my 450S ASAP! In the mean time does anyone need a set of 27x12x12 Vamps?...

Adam,
I'd LOVE to have a set of 28" Vampires for the Mag.. BUT, i'm sure the cost is a little higher than I'm willing to go right now... But, if ATV Connection wanted an EXCELLENT test vehicle and pilot to put them thru their paces and give a real world view of them, I'd be MORE than happy to.... I already have the 12" Chrome ITP wheels.. They would only have to go out the $$$$$ for the tires..

oh,
On the steering limiters.... from what I remember, they simply attached to the outer ends of the tie rods and hung over infront and behind the rod end.. then, as you turn, they stop against the strut thingy...
Thats a vague memory... if ya'll go with 27" Vampires and really need/want more info.. just holler and I'll talk to Brad about the specifics on what he did...
