    I love bashing mine now that I got it tuned

    When I was breaking it in I had a hard time because it kept over heating but that was my fault because I didn't have a temp guage

    Good luck, and enjoy it

    I can get mine to lift the tires if I am on a hard surface. When I am in loose dirt I can't get it to do it, but if I hit a small bump when I am running it out the wheels will come up, and don't want to come back down if I stay on it.

    yea the stockers are pretty weak, which is why i got rpm blue chrome clawz. very nice, matches all the other blue aluminum i have poured money into.

    i havent tried and hard surfaces yet, all dirt and grass by me. but i can wheelie on grass(especially if there is a tiny bump or drop) and like 2 times today i got it to wheelie on really loose dirt.....then i realized my slipper was just a tad too loose. wanna know how i figured that out?? lol smoke comming from the spur. now its all melted , not that bad tho, its still usable but it must have warped a lil cuz a certain side of the spur is very difficult to turn when it meets the cb. o well. ill get a new one sumtime soon.

    hmmm good question..., i'd say go with 2 first, then if you really like them, go ahead and get the other 2, that way your not at a big loss if you don't like them

    or what you could do is ask your lhs about there return policy....

    if they have one, get all 4, use only 2, if you don't like them, return the other 2 so you get some money back, if you like them, glue em and mount em . either way you have an equal chance of going back to the lhs or not... lol

    I like the dirt hawgs on the rear, but they stink on the front. I like the bowties on the front.
