anybody make a biger lift than the HL 2'' for the foreman 500...

 

[350hondaman]

add the HL springs will give you like .5" more of lift but if your running the 2" lift and HL springs.. watch out for your axles!!

 

[rubyandforeman]

like he said watch your axles... if you get brave you might b able to get a extended swingarm and drive shaft... a guy on here made a foreman into a irs.... if your brave go for it..

 

[JRICH]

Gotta pay to play homie... I say go for it

[JRICH]

[Johnny]

new 420 or 500

any sugg. on witch bike, new 420 or 500 would be better for mudden... rite know i have a 05 350 rancher snorked-KN 2'' lift 27-12-12 mudlites XL on all 4 coners 2.5 wheel spacers in rear, gos great but neads more.. looking to up grade???

 

[GaRedClay]

THe 500 is a great bike with lots of punch...I would get the manual shift thought...

 

[350hondaman]

420 has to much un-proteched plastic, probley more sportyer then a foreman. but for mud the 500 has more GC. my vote 500

 

[BGRDForeman]

Go with the 500 and get the lift and the springs. I haven't had any problems with mine. Try the thing you want to do to your bike. Don't let the advice of people who don't even have the mods themselves dictate what you do.

 

[Icywaves]

The 420 and the 500 have similiar HP but the 500 has quite a bit more torque. Torque is what gets the big tires spinning. If you wanted a mudder. I would get the manual 500.

Do a search on Electronic shift and you will see a slew of topics of people having problems with it...It will leave you stranded.....

not really, theres always the shift tool that comes with that bike. or a 12"mm (?) wrench will work to get yourself out of a jam.

for pure muddin get the Standard model, i find the ES to be more trail friendly then the S.

 

[GaRedClay]

That will work...But why even deal with it when you can avoid it all together? If the battery is a little weak it will not shift, it the cluthc adjustment is off a little, it will not shift.....ES is POS IMO.

 

[JRICH]

Rubi won't leave you stranded even if you have electric probs. You may not be able to go over ten mph but you can move.

You guys are crazy, I have ran my winch until the battery was almost dead and it shifted fine.

The Newer es's are a lot better than the old ones. I have sank mine twice I creek ride and jump in and out of mud holes all the time and it still shifts like new.

 

[BGRDForeman]

I'm with big daddy on this one. I have yet to have a problem with my ES.
