Will be going on my '16 which will have a EHS Racing controller with their DIY airbox with K&N. Oh plus doing the R Racing tip while I debate on either doing Barker duals or something else.
I beg to differ on the wheel size. 14's are easier to clean, and less crap gets caked behind them around the brakes. They are no less functional than 12" wheels when you are running quality tires. You cannot feel the difference in a 1" shorter sidewall. Also, most good tires have greater availability and a larger array of sizes in 14"
I went with a taller tire cause I will be using it to run back and fourth through farm fields and need the extra ground clearance. I prefer the look mostly on the 14's over the 12's. As soon as they show up I will post some pictures.
I looked at the 12's and just didn't like the look. Rode a buddies with 14's and rode fine but maybe its just cause I haven't rode a lot, came from the YFZ world so completely different type of riding.
Everything should be here Weds before I go up for for the weekend, just need to fix my damn exhaust bolts!

As you rode 14's before making the purchase you know what you getting. I think others recommending more side-wall is from riding their local area and the type of terrain encountered.
As for me, with the amount of scaring and bends on the 12's that I have, with less side-wall I might have broke a wheel in the rocks I ride.
Also, before you remove the stock tires, measure the roll-out to know what c.v.t. mods are needed to restore the stock low end performance later.
