I've done a highlifter 2" lift kit with 28" Mudlites. Others hate the Mudlite, but I personally love them for all around trail/mud. They've been fantastic. I hate mud riding personally, but due to flooding in our area, there are allot of washouts and the Mudlites can crawl through everything I've tried without spinning. I'm fixing to make a set of rear inner cv guards as the base model has nothing to protect them. Other than lighting, I've left everything else alone. I get some belt slippage in high range if I have to do any kind of climbing with the 28's, but low range performs flawlessly. I'm planning a vacation, so a new clutch setup is out for now, but would probably be a great addition to stop the high range belt slip. I've got about 13.5" of ground clearance and it goes where I have the need to go. I may look at upgrading to the XMR CVT exhaust in the near future as well. The bike floats, but any lean to the left gets water into the cvt exhaust. I'll probably make some radiator splash guards as you've done as well. Once the warranty expires, I'll do the fan over ride too.
