Just wondering fellows who was using them and what are your likes and dislikes on them. I really like mine have just gotten used to the different steering radius it creates by just riding a different way, the steering is still good enough that if you get in a bad situation going up or down a hill that I have no trouble with it. I think someone was talking about redoing the original ones if you did let us know if they are any better...

Heard about the tie rod extenders. Tell me about them. I cant seem to find out about them. Have a winch and my 250 lbs plus a load of gear puts a lot of strain on the front. Put on Blackwaters and aired them up to about 8 lbs. Helps a whole bunch.

Do a search under my name "atving" and you will find more info on this, it really does make your bike steer easy but cuts down on your turning radius, hope this helps. I can't imagine running atv tires with 8 lbs in them though...

Our Sportsman 500 when stock was hard to steer, dirt or concrete. When we added a big front bumper and winch, it was worse. When we added 27x10x12 Vampires on the front, it steers VERY easy. I think it's the tires that cause the hard steering, too much contact patch.
