I don't roll mine but I carry too much stuff everywhere I go. Got rear rack and basket on mine too. Gotta have Ice Chest full beer. And back up ice chest full of back up beer on the front. Can't be too carefull down here. Get lost for days...
It's not like that I like to roll it over..... I just get into bad cituations sometimes!!!

Nice bike THOM! How do you like those tires? Are you running 9's up front and 11's in the back? Do you think the 11's are to big to run all the way around
Wildman I really like them. Great all around tire. They peak in the trails. yes I am running 9's and 11"s. I know NMKAWIE is running 11's all around. He seeems to have no issues as all.

The one's I have are OK but I think its because they have more pad-type luggs. Something with bars or ribs probably be harder to turn with 11s on front. Just guessing.
Had 10"s for swamplites before that I though was rough for slow sped turning. 11"s in my mind would be tough

YEa i'm running 27x10 swamplites all the way around but looking for a tire more like the baja's or what you run. No one makes a 10" tire unless its a mud tire. I want to run 27 or 28" tires, preferable radial in a 10" wide and they just cannot be found.
The swamplites are good but do ride hard and I want something more of a trail tire instead of a mud tire.

Yeah kinda tough finding a tall 10" trail tire. 26s no problem. 27 & up is an issue. Maybe because of demand. Most folks looking for a trail tire don' go so tall. I had 27" XTRs 11s & 9s and they did good on trails but the rocks were killing the sidewalls and the cactus was making it through so...something had to be done. I did order the 10s for mine but a F-up made them come in as 11s. I like them fine so far but I was looking for about an 8-pound weight loss instead I gained 4 pounds. I am 4 pounds lighter on back but 8 pounds heivier on front...Hmmm...maybe that way it climbs so good now
I too like the no front rack look.
What size bolts do I need to do this trick look?
It's a 8mm bolt with a 12mm head, about an inch long with a washer and a 1/4-7/16" slice of rubber fuel line to act as a gromit. Here's a pic. Got them at Lowe's
Linear Mode
