Good point Roofer,

Would I do it again, I would have investigated the Interco Swamplites a little more. Not more super serious mudding, but what I have read and researched tells me they are a good tire. They are pretty cheap too, very similar to the Mudlite line.

I know V2 Rider swears by them.

 

Most people do swear by what they have. hehe

 

589's are not radial. 589's are real heavy though and so are radials. I have no experience with radials, but it seems they are mainly for trail riding.

 

besides the expensive elka, is there any other shock that will lower the ride height of my brute 650i. i would love to have handling like the king quad 700. i can't really carve the woods like i'm use to with foreman 450 4x4

 

Works shocks from what I hear.
Don't compare to ther quads. Just become a better rider on a faster machine. I ride with a Kingquad alot, and I have no problem with him now that I can handle my machine better than he can handle his.
