Lift Kits

I was wondering if there are any "side affects" to the motor with installing a lift kit without adjusting anythingin the motor. Also, how much does it cost to get the lift kit installed?

Oh yeah...i found some on ebay and one kit comes with the coil spings and the others dont. If i want to lift it 1.5 to 2 inches do i need to buy the kit with the springs?

Dreth, what size tires were on it? What do you want for the lift kit if you still have it?

No they are all harder on CVs... The Perfex long travel kit for Hondas seems to br the least taxing. A lift combined with large aggressive tire will decrease the life of certain parts of your machine.
If you don't taking the bike through jumps and abuse it like that your cvs would last a lot longer than if you did. Thousands of people have lifts, and there are problems, but as long as you do not abuse the machine you will be ok for a while.

ya i don't really jump my bike...im in the mud more than anything really. I'll go over a few hills and rocks but not aggresively.
I got stuck on a damn rock yesterday so im dying to get a lift and some bigger tires to get that sh*t out of the way lol.
Im spending too much damn money on this bike and i havne't even made my first payment lol
$400 for a winch, $300 for new tires, another $150 to lift it...joy hehe

I've got the lift and 26" Vamps on the Rancher, and I abuse the hell out of the bike. I had the bike for 2 years now and it still runs like it was new.

Wal-Mart sells some OEM type tires. You could try ARS in Okeechobee. I have noticed most dealersips that carry tires carry ITP 589s and Mudlights.
