well just got my hawkeye and let me tell you it is the best atv i have ever rode! small with everything you could want after you add the extras [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Ill post some pics when the rest of my extras come in and get it it all mounted up .

so far:
2007 Hawkeye 4x4
1500 polaris winch
brush bar
front and back storage wells
seat rest
hand guards

 

Let us know if all the bugs are worked out from the 2006 model...........How many miles you got on it so far!!!!!!....Thanks........Caper.........

 

LMAO got a BIG 5 miles on it so far ( I hate breaking in new motors) but i guess its worth it I have done trails climbing downed trees that are as tall as the tires I would have bet the atv that i was going to high side it lol. and a few hill climbs havent been over 37 mph yet just taking it slow But so far i am in love with this atv !

 

I really like my Hawkeye and its an 06. I hear the 07's are much better with improved clutching (lighter rollers) improved ride with a small torsion bar, and better carb settings.

 

I have read all about the carb prob they had seems to me it was just improper componets from factory so I am sure they fixed that this time around. The only thing I could say bad about this atv is speed for the few times I may open it up its a dog but that 2% of riding I can live with for the great crawling ability this thing has

 

I agree about the speed, but that's not how I ride. My average speed is probably less than 10 MPH, crawling through the mountains of east Tennessee, over rocks, through some mud, etc. It crawls with the best of them. I put 25" mudlites on it and the ride is MUCH better than stock.

 

I have read that ALOT 25" mudlites. I dont think I want to go that big I'm thinking of 23" or 24" Now I just gota decide on tire make (prefer a mud type) and what rims I want, I realy liked the setup on the LE hawkeye but they are 23" and now I'm thinking of going with a Black aluminum rim. HATE the stock rims on the plain 4x4

 

I'm with you, I really like my Hawkeye. Only thing I could complain about is the stock tires, I like a more agressive tread. I don't worry about speed, I didn't buy it for that, and it isn't a sport quad anyway.

I have mounted up a 2000# Venom winch, hand guards, their "deluxe" front brush guard, a set of Cycle Country front CV boot guards, and the most important thing IMO, the auxillary oil cooler. I made a set of studs to replace the mounting bolts and mounted a perferated sheetmetal guard in front of it.

I'm having a hard time finding 24" tires for the rims. I can find 25" tires, but I have read where they rub on the rear of the footboards.

 

I will prob be going with Carlisle 489 A/T's here is a link to a merch that has a nice setup for finding sizes

I just found that a 2006 Polaris Magnum 330 4x4 comes stock with
Front Tires 24 x 8-12
Rear Tires 24 x 11-12

this helps with alot of searching on sites that are not upto date with new models
let me know how you make out. I realy like lugs with sipping something Carlisle doesnt have so still looking here

 

What are the stock tires on the Hawkeye??
I thought they came with the Carlisle 489's....My 2006 SP 450 did!!!!
