I dont have any pics yet but I did get them put on the wheeler. I haven't checked the pressure in them but they definatly run short. 27s are more like 26 and change. Once I get some seat time I will know if I should have gone with the 28's. I only have an itybity 500 so I didn't want to lose all my power.

I will be flipping the tierod ends tomorrow morning if I can fit in some garage time. They look like they are going to rub.

I plan to take measurment of the front geometry so that the flip goes smoothly. Any tips from PPL that have flipped theirs.
I had to flip mine when I put 26" Bighorn 2.0's. Had to do a realignment, I used the string method.

Flipped the tierods this morning. Went smoothly as can be expected. Had to spin the outer tierod a good 5 or 6 turns to make her line up on the bottom of the mount.
I still haven't taken her for a spin. We just had our second baby a week ago and I don't want to **** off the wife. On the plus side I just taught a 7 day old everything I know about tierods.

The steering doesn't feel like it is binding at all and there is lots of room now with the tierod on the bottom of the mount.

Should get some pics tonight or tomorrow. She looks mean.

You can't go wrong with Zilla's, I put a set of 26's on my 99 Sportsman 500 3 months ago and couldn't be happier, there's a little chatter until you get above 5mph and then there fine. I trail ride my bike a lot and these tires don't show any sign of wear yet, and in the mud they're awesome.
