My 28" Outlaws rub the front metal mud flap support-while sitting still. The rear will need about 5 inches of flare trimming-for the 12.5" tire. Pics below.
Let me know how yours goes.

Try it again. It should be accessible.

In order for me to see them, I have to click the link, choose "open from current location", then click the link once more.

TxDoc2,
How was your shifting points affected by the larger diameter tires? Does it seem like it lugs excessively in D1 & D2? I suppose a person could always just run it in the ESP mode.

TexDoc2,

Have you had a chance to try your 28" Outlaws in the mud yet? Whenever you do, please let us know!
Do they pull good? Are they rough riding? Do they take a lot of power away from your bike?
I am totally satisfied with my Ruby. I can't get over how nice the tranny is.

I have only gotten to fit them on. The front rubs a metal strut that supports the mud flap if you turn hard to the side. So, I am waiting to see what Highlifter suggests, since they have their Rubicon to work with.

Maxout,

No mods yet. It has been a while since I've had a 4-wheeler so, I have been just getting used to it. I do a lot of riding in fields and gravel roads. That is why I'm afraid to go to a more aggressive tire. I would hate to loose the smooth ride that it has.

I have tried it out though. I was in water up to the seat. It was going good but, I had some water get to the carb from the drain and it drowned out. That can be fixed easy enough.

The only thing that I can't figure out is the difference between D1 and D2. There is not much difference if you ask me. Any comments about that TxDoc2?
