I have been researching a lot about lifts, tires, axles, etc on here, but wanted to run this by you guys……
Still on the fence about how mild or wild i may want to go with my 850 touring. I love the machine, my wife and I go out riding often, and I have been slowly working on things here and there. Basically, I either go with my wife and we are double up – more so out cruising and running anywhere from 20-50%. Or I go out with the guys and we are rippin it up, muddin, etc and running anywhere from 50-80% with shorts bouts of 100% if that makes sense.
So, with a little background, I wanted some insight into potentially carrying out this build. Let me know how you think this will hold up. I want it to be extremely reliable, not leave us stranded, but still be able to handle those days where I want to push it a little more! Anyone out there riding this setup or something similar? Am I missing anything?
I’m not as young and heavy on the throttle as I once was, and I like to think that this build would be a pretty dependable build for me.
A big thing I question is maybe getting something with a little more give than OL2s…. maybe mega mayhems or something.
Look forward to the always good feedback guys!

I would probably like to stick somewhat close to this budget. I thought I could do it for cheaper, but this seems like what I need to get it done right.
