Hmmm.. not really. If anything, I made mine slightly wider with a 26" wheelkit. The bike is a little high and tippy put of the box. Now that mine is wider, it is as stable as a Jeep CJ-7.

Yippie!

they are a little wide at the bottom of the engine case and belt cover but if you ride aggresive you need you legs spaced apart, you can balance and move better, I have no problems with the width , you will learn , when you need to move side to side on a quad you don't want your legs straight up and down.

I put a set of ITP C Series and 26" atr radials. I take it on alot of tight twisty offcamber trails and it performs flawlessly.

I am about 5'8 and I'm really not sure what you mean when you say that you cant stand up straight.

Sometimes you have to slow your roll between the trees because of the width of the Brute, but you will get the hang of it and will be ripping thru the woods

I Hear You, I am 6'2" and my knees are forced against the side panels when standing. I got to where I could ignore it after a while. The only thing I can think of to help you is heel blocks at the very back of the boards.
