The little yellow locker lever is about the only thing I dislike about the Brute. It's tons better than the pre-2012 models. I've been in the situation where the left side of the quad is submerged in an underwater rut and I'm standing on the right footwell. I can't picture reaching across to grab that lever without going over. Glad someone has a fix to improve it.

Square tires would bother me too.

I must have missed something. What's square?

Are those stock rims and tires? If so they look pretty good.

Most stock tires I throw out as soon as I get it home.
I have seen aftermarket rims that do not look as nice as those.

new tires and stock rims - I really like the rims too - I don't care for aftermarket rims because of their offset - I hate that they stick out farther and flip crap all over

not to happy with the new tires - I think I'll look for something else

Those are kind of like the trail we have narrow and technical.
Love to see a Outlander 800 try to go down them any faster then anyone else.

The trails dictate the speed not the ATV or rider.

I don't know about that TLC. Looks like a trail that a fast atv can rip down given a good enough rider. Nice bike Specta! Hope you have as much luck with it as your ruby

We discourage fast here.

Thanks Honda24 - I hope so too.

Honda just doesn't have anything that catches my eye and I think they totally ruined the 2015 Rubicon by eliminating the hydrostatic trans - that's what made the Rubicon a Rubicon and set it apart from any other ATV.

Honda turned it into a "470 Rancher", truly a sad day.
