Buying vinson with 27" swamp pro on it . I'm not really one to jump off in every mud hole on the trail, I like to ride and enjoy. My question is will I be looking at a lot of CV strain by running the 27's? How much power will I lose with them? Bike has a FMF pipe and I am guessing jets.

 

This is my dad's bike.. We need some help to see if anyone is running bigger tires on the Vinson.. Let us know what you all think.. Anybody have any info???

 

read the sig..... and look at the pics. granted i only have 26"s my lift makes up for the extream strain on the cvs. whatever you do DONT LIFT IT.

i have 25 inch Mudlite XT's and they'll pull though lots of mud with only a tad more stress then the stock tires....CV restoration has Chromoly CV joints if you really wanna lift it

 

this man right here has cv restoration rockford cromoly joint, we will see how they hold up. im getting my frame done!!!!

 

I have a 2002 stock vinson with 27" 589 titans. tires dont rub and the tread is very aggressive. however, I do feel the difference in power. I know that I should change to low gear when ever i'm going to climb any big hills. I would like to get more power but I am not sure how. YET...

 

sweet V581..i'm getting them also on my Eiger...stock really suck..i broke one with stock tires...wtf

 

ok...i got my chromoly CV joint....much thicker housing...these babies should'nt break at all...at least another 1/8-1/4 inch of material on the joint....Thanks again to CV restoration...Danny is a great guy..you can call him any time and he'll tell you what you need to know BTW his name for the forum is thecvman

 

I just put 27" Swamp Lites with stock rims on my 2003 Vinson manual. The front left tire rubs slightly on the forward floorboard frame when turning left. The right one does not rub at all. Unfortunately I can't find any mud or snow in Arizona right now to test them out. They are very aggressive. They make a rooster tail in the sand without even spinning. Don't get behind anyone with them on a gravel road either without full face protection. I can tell a power difference at 20mph and up. I posted a picture of them.
