Does anyone have a loker kit on thier wolverine. I would like to get one, but im worried on how it would affect the handling on trail riding and at fast speeds.

The locker kits are great for slow speed mud and snow type terrian but become a real handful during normal trailriding. On normal traction surfaces the steering becomes harder, the handlebars no longer return to center after a turn, feedback and kickback through the bars is greatly increased and it is more tiring to ride for any distance. At slow speeds in poor traction the above traits are not noticed and tractibility is increased. All depends where you spend more time.

I would assume that you would get a lot more front tire wear with the locker kit too...
