YA, for some reason when ever I take pics inside my building, the florecent lights really screw up my camera. If i take a pic in automatic mode, like the outdoor shots, they turn out so dark you can't hardly see them, so in order to capture the pic with the light I have to take the pic in scan mode, which means I have to hold the camera perfectly still. As you can see I am not very good at that. LOL

It handels better, rides smoother. I like it better all the way around. Since it was all done at the same time. I am not sure what actually made the bigest difference.

26" Goodyear RAWHIDES 

TRV shocks dropped it for stabilty and handeling (dropped it about 1.5-2"s)

TRV 400 springs, lighter guage for softer ride( I think is what they took them form)

Swaybar was added for stabilty, and control

 

The tires hooked up really well. They are a little bit heavier so my RW piped outy was giving it a heck of run in the drags we did saturday. My RW piped Outy was running 25" bighorns so the TC will likely . Since I weigh close to a 100 pounds more than my budy that was riding my outy, there is still no doubt that the TC has more power. But I know I don't want to roll up next to a Outy with a pipe and some light weight stock tires and wheels and start talking any smack, if the pilot looks much lighter than me anyway.

I am not sure what I should get on my Gade. I am looking for a sport tire that hooks well on all surfaces. Seems like the stock ones spin quite a bit. Or should I just get a set of rims for an all around mudder like an ITP and a set of rims with sand paddles.

I always get different sets for the applications that I plan to use the machine for. Like I have a set for sand, a set for the Rocky Colorado trails, and I gennerally hold onto the stocker in case I need a lighter weight dirt tire for racing on dirt or just so I have something to put back on it when I go to trade it off.

I am planing on a new set for the T-cat, I was looking for something different, but so far I am back leaning toward the bighorns again. I am now trying to decide on staying with 12" rims or trying some 14" rims. There are just so dang many choices out there any more.
