P1000 2017 Radiator Air Deflector

[Plongson]

What year is your rig?

Sorry, I should have mentioned our PK5 is a 2016, built 10/16 according to the ID sticker.

As for comments that my participation in this thread is "the problem", I'm baffled at your point of view, but to each is own.

These are the facts as I SEE THEM.

1.) Big corporations, including Honda are NOT OUR FRIENDS. They are here to take your money and give you something in return. The perceived value of both are subjective to the provider of each.

2.) Some have stated they believe there was little field testing of the PK5. I think there was EXTENSIVE testing and the PK5 is right where they wanted it when it was initially released...heat, gearing, clutches etc. It was a calculated corporate gamble based on profit dollars vs owner backlash and warranty repairs. This does allow Honda to make significant model year updates. Honda could care less if you're HOT...

3.) Perhaps you misunderstood my point. I never said the diverter mentioned was not a good or effective addition...quite the contrary, and I hope Honda includes the diverter in the BIG HEAT FIX we are all patiently waiting for...which I might add has been dragging on for months.

I could go on but I'll assume you get my point of view...and brand loyalty is essentially ignorance in the world we live in today. Big business is happy taking your money but they sure put on the brakes when you need something back from them. Witness the fact how happy we are when defective clutches are replaced under warranty...regardless of how many hoops one had to jump through to get it done.

One last thought to ponder is the old saying..."Follow the money" Just say'n...

Did u order it today?
I did and it took it but a 1/2 hr later got the email saying out of stock/ not available that's when I started looking around. Most showed it but when I called to confirm they had it they gave me the same answer.

I only now am getting around to updating the post, my order showed up last Friday with everything included.

Looks like I'm gonna have to drill a hole's. Mine did not have them up there. Story of my life LOL. That's OK it'll get done anyway glad to see yours came in too

 

[boatman22]

Got mine installed this morning. I was lucky as the holes were already there. Still a pain in the a** to install. Going to NM next week and hope it works.....

 

[Plongson]

I ordered the air deflector and rubber from Rocky Mountain along with the push pins...on back order. I have the holes in the cross member from the factory, what makes it a PITA to install? Does it not slide up into position or do you still have to tear the machine apart?

Just ordered these parts today from my local Honda store.

The rubber piece was available, but the plastic shield was backordered.

They also said the clips to attach the rubber to the plastic piece were discontinued

I didn't get the plastic clips, I found some black machine screws to connect the rubber to the plastic I don't think it's that important how or what you use to fasten the rubber to the plastic

I think Honda is light years ahead of the US Government and thats not saying much!

The area to get your hands in has 1-2" clearance and the push pins are almost an inch long before you get them in the holes and seated. Just a very tight install. I guarantee it's done before the front under hood panel is installed during initial assembly

Isn't it though. I was making a sailor blush as I installed mine

After 30 minutes of trying, I installed the passenger side push pin backwards.

Also had the same issue with pins for the rubber, take the plastic piece with you to Lowe's. I found some "Ford" plastic body variable depth pins that worked perfectly
