Just wanted to share my first ever honda sxs. Back story of the machine, I bought it during covid which you couldn't find a machine to save your life. New machines and used machines were going for astronomical prices and you couldn't even get a new machine anyways. So I bought used. I bought it from a farmer and she was rode hard and put away wet, but he wasn't asking much for it. I checked it out and the engine and drive train was solid so I went for it.

Next I ripped out those horrible factory cup holders that couldn't even hold a cup and installed these. Yes these cup holders are made for a polaris ranger... but they work and look awesome

Finally with all my machines with glass windshields I installer bush wackers on the sides of the windshield. These really help to protect your glass when you're bush wacking.
