A 800 rolling on 28's!
there is alot of room, you may even be able to rub the 28s with enough force on the suspension....i have 27" tires and haven't hit them yet, but when you are going over rocks hard while turning, they come close. In most cases there won't be sufficient force on the suspension, but I think you could definitely rub the 29's, I think even the 28s under the right circumstance....
lets us know how your riding goes and what you think of the machine...i wouldn't mind having one, but i just bought the 700 back in early september, so not economical for me to upgrade...

anytime you very from stock, you are putting stress on the machine....he is running spacers, so he can put on the 10.5's....on my '05 700 EFI, I put on 27" tires, wheels...the front tires are 9's and much wider than the stocks, much beefier....the tire combination puts its stress on the machine as now I can only hit alittle over 60 on the speedo, when I could hit almost 70 before....definitely makes a difference...

Wouldn't the speed reading on your speedometer be reduced with the larger circumference tire anyway?
Can someone recommend a good tire for snow? I've read that you are better off with stock tires in snow, however you'd think that any increase in ground clearance would help, regardless of the tread pattern?
BTW, front rack looks better with the extender.
