06-12 Recon Suspension difference?

I have a 2012 Recon I am looking at putting a lift on, it is amazing the price difference between a 2006 and 2012 when it comes to lifts. Is there any major difference in the 06 and 2012 that would keep a lift for an 06 from working on my 2012? My dad has a 2006 Recon and I have looked it over and don’t see any difference. I would rather spend $40 instead of $100 if possible lol.

Thanks, Tom

L Max…2015 or 2016 450 or 570?

After a lot of contemplation, I think I am going to pass on the single seat 570 version and go with a max L of some variety.

There are some great deals on the 2015 450 max right now…as low as $6466 for the DPS version.

Dirt trax reviewed the 450 max DPS and says it is a blast due to its power to weight ratio and quick low end torque of the single vs the twin. I also wonder if it does not run cooler than the 570 twin.

The 2015 still has the 5 year warranty…the 2016s have the 6 month.

Here is how it breaks down:
6466 2015 450 DPS max

6799 2016 450 DPS max

Did they do many updates on the 16s or should I pay less for a much longer warranty?

Or I can move up to a 570 for $7488…seems like the 2015 450 with 5 year warranty is the best deal…if there were not a lot of problems with year 1 that had to be fixed in the next model year. I guess 2016 was the first year for the 570, so maybe they are both "first year" bikes in reality.

If anyone has any thoughts, or comments on the max L version of any kind, please feel free to respond. Thanks!
