I know that I have seen them mentioned here and there but unfortunatly the search engine on the forum will not let you search for "HD5" or "HD-5" etc. It says that there are no responces found even though I have seen them on here.
Anyway, I just wanted to see how they look mounted on a Sportsman. I have been looking at rims for my 13 touring 850 and like the idea of a beadlock as some people have spun wheels in tires, not to mention it would help to prevent de-beading a tire at lower pressures. One of the main reasons I am looking at them is that you can get them in a 5+2 offset which I will need to run a 27" tire on a touring even after trimming the rear footrest bracket. I really do not want to go with a 4+3 not only due to the width, but I do not want to jack up the front end geometry a lot.
