Re: $2000 to spend on mods for an 850

#1 sounds like a great plan, but I might be personally more tempted to go with Koni adjustables instead. Then again, HD's might be better for cross... cross isn't my area of expertise. HD's also cost a bit less. Lucky from ARD has also been doing some N/A tuning lately, he has a really interesting ...

Re: $2000 to spend on mods for an 850

I'd go with option 1. Sways and brakes will make it an animal with the tires you're running.

Re: $2000 to spend on mods for an 850

^ Ben has good info on the N/A throttle plate mod . Go to the last page, or start at the beginning, 2008 or so. Big brake mod ? You'd need bigger wheels... those Cetus won't work. Sixteens -- but not Columbas -- may work, and 17"s will work. Pretty Well damn, that's not happening then. I have ...
