I have a rubi already, just want to push the recon as far as it can go, safely. The recon is my "toy" to play on, while I use rubi for farming work and snow removal. Just hoped others had ideas as to what can or can't be done. The recon is one fast and fun light weight machine.
Thanks for your input. Phil

Just sayin.

All I was asking was for help getting as much rubber under it as i could. Put on 12's and what can I do safe? Just wanted to know what others had done.

Signatures on this page list out all the mods/ upgrades done to their machines, why not a recon?

I was just looking for like minded people who saw room for improvement on a great little atv. I'm just sayin.....

Thanks rich. Your point of view and insight is taken. I know people such as yourself have way more knowledge on ATV's than myself, as I bought my first one only this summer.

I am unable to ride due to elbow surgery, and just keeping my hands busy. Just wanted to improve, not reinvent the "wheel". I always like to see what can be done, as long as it don't hurt me or someone around me!
