UPDATE! Where the wheels at?

MSA M26-04710 dark tint ATV wheel I think I might like the 12" System 3 ST-6 wheel and would consider replacing the stock Yamaha wheels on my Grizzly....which, has never happened yet because I just can't find the right lookin' wheel, or at least an aftermarket wheel that looks better than the stock wheel in my eyes and will actually fit my quad. Then, if I do find a design I can look at...it's not available in the size I need.

 WHAT?! I can't find a nice lookin' wheel, that isn't black, in 14x7 4/110 fitment? How about the right offset? Do I have to go down to a 12" wheel and tire? Is this for real, folks?

 So what about the 12" wheels? Ok,well, the System 3 ST-6 wheel caught my eye, and I have been thinking about moving down to a smaller diameter wheel with a taller sidewall tire for more rubber in the hopes of a more comfortable ride. That would of course also include moving away from the "square" wheel and tire set-up that comes stock on the '19 Yamaha Grizzly 700. I am considering it, with the proper wheel, and Kenda Bear Claw HTR tires. I am very curious to see how the Grizzly responds to such a change, and how the handling and steering improve.

 Either way, finding the right combination of wheel and tire for your ATV, SxS or other OHRV can be exhausting. It can be tedious. It can be.....yeah, not fun, trying to dot all those i's and cross all those t's.

 I'm so blown away by this, that I contacted System 3 to inquire as to why you wouldn't offer so many of your (worthy-looking) wheels in a size proper for the best-selling bikes and quads, the most reliable, the most legendary ATVs? WTF?? It BOGGLES my mind how they can make multiple designs that are actually appealing, but don't fit a Yamaha Grizzly. 

 All I do is shake my head sometimes. #SMH

 What if you're really particular about your design? You see something in your head and it's gotta be that. Well, in my case, for now, it seems I am just going to stay a regular plain-jane Trailwarrior, and rock the stock Yamaha wheels because they look great and aren't worth replacing with an aftermarket wheel that everybody and their mom is rockin'.

 So,... the wheel search goes on, friends. Let's hope these companies get a grip!

 EDIT! Really likin' these 14x7 MSA M26 Vibe wheel in dark tint!! *** Added 2022 Wheel Pros catalog in PDF format. It is attached below under the Tags. ***

 UPDATE 8.2.22!! :D Git'n dishy wit' it! Finally hit the button and went with the 14x7" MSA Vibe wheels and Kenda Bear Claw HTR tires (F: 26x9/14 - R: 26x11/14) and I am so happy, they look absolutely gorgeous, and everything arrived on-time with no damage. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get the wheels & tires together, mounted, like from KJ Motorsports online, because the wheels were out-of-stock at most places I checked. Regardless, they are super TITTIE (o)(o) and they have been mounted (Tire Warehouse, #BIGups!) and everything looks TIP-TOP MAGOO, gents. Pics below!

Trailwarriors.Life Rockingham County Recreational Rail Trail cruise 12.06.2022 Hit up the Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail today with @the.real.sportsman!

 What a beautiful evening for an ATV cruise. Thee ol' railbed looks to be in great shape from what we could tell. An excellent ride with fairly smooth trail ridin' all the way through!

 BIGups to NH ATV Club for everything they do for these New Hampshire trails. It's simply amazing to still have access and be able to ride a quad in our home county, Rockingham. There is so much over-development around us it's scary!

 Several times during the cruise from Fremont, NH to Derry, NH and back to Fremont, I wondered to myself...."who wouldn't want to take a train ride through this beautiful rural countryside, farm lands and wet lands?" Even today, it's such a valuable right-of-way, but somehow its value is over-looked for the hustle and bustle of today's modern technology and Rat Race. Ugh!

 What a great night to be out. If you haven't been, we suggest you do...

Hopkinton-Everett OHRV Trail System outing

 Well, the first trip to Hopkinton-Everett OHRV Trail System was nothing less than 100% fun and testing the quads was a total success! Shoutout to @the.real.sportsman for making it happen! 

 On arrival the parking lot was empty, the day was beautiful, and the bikes ran strong! There was plenty of nature to be absorbed and we were even fortunate enough to spot some deer. 

 The @yamayahoo77 Grizzly is passing all tests with flying colors. I really couldn't be happier with the results from the mods, including EHS Racing EFI controller, EHS Racing air intake upgrade/modification, EHS Racing airbox lid and Barker's Performance Exhaust slip-on exhaust. Dude, my bike runs PROPERLY now! The Grizz is running cooler, stronger and has a much more linear thumb-throttle which feels absolutely incredible!

 We are excited about making new trail riding videos, etc, and have started a Trailwarriors.Life Youtube channel! Check out the vid from the last run out to end the day at Hopkinton-Everett Trail System...
