i believe u on how fast your sportsman is but i would love to see a video clip of it, even better would be one of u doing some deep mudding with them snorkels up. the file could be a .mpg or .avi.

I am leaving town tonight for Indiana, but if I can get Tazgrizz to take some pictures, I will get them posted tobight. I have tried to take the camera to the park to take mud pics but my wife got mad. It is a very expensive camcorder with built in digital camera. She thinks the heat and humidity will affect it????

Any of you guys ever clocked your Sportsman with a GPS or radar? I wondered how accurate the speedometers were. My AC speedometer is full of shiznit! With stock tires it will show 58 at 50mph. With the Claws, it shows about 54 at 51 on the GPS.

Come on here, I have to have some hard truth evidence on sportsman top speed to justify a trade. I'm on the edge right now just looking for a reason.

You have to remember I am at 6000+ feet elevation. Even my scrambler has troubles getting the front end up for any length of time. The lack of air kills the power. We are automatically 18% down on power and that is if everything is jetted perfectly. We can hit 60 on the HO up here. I am sure after it is broken in some more it will be even better.

Here are pics of my SP500 pulling the front wheels off the ground. If this doesn't impress you, I will take pics of the bike doing the same thing with 27"Vamps on it when I get back from Indiana. I have told people before that the bike would do it easily and no one believed me. These pics were taken by Tazgrizz.
