Showing my ignorance...sorry! I had no idea they didn't make them.

No worries. They make them for most of the other models

better than self-tappers would be rivnuts or plus nuts, M6 x 30mm (pretty sure) bolts. I used hex head for the cup washer locations, rounded pan head style for the side, tube locations.

I have a plus nut setter I can bring.

We'd need a drill, drill bits for metal, possibly extractors of some kind, hardware

Just show up with the parts, 1-2 guys should be able to knock it out in under an hour. Winch machine over to 45 deg, it will be installed before you know it.

Me=going beyond
Futz=going ABOVE and beyond.

Nice!

I will check them. SuperATV does not make skid plates for the 500, yet.

NOT SAYING I RECOMMEND IT. It is completely up to you.

They make it for the 520. I have it on my 500, the only place the bolts do not align correctly are the wings under the cab. If you're going the plus nuts route that Futzin recommended, that might work. I am getting ready to do the plus nuts to mine. We originally used self tapers and they came out. Also do not put the front metal guards behind the wheels, they rub the tires under compression. I bought mine during Covid, the price for the SSS was up crazy ridiculous and on backorder.. the SuperAtv one was available and worth the gamble for me.

Note: The SSS fits perfectly and works perfectly. Futzin has installed 3 of them.

Nice!

To be clear, I'm not promising to bring drill bits, hardware, extractors etc. Sorry if unclear . . .
I can bring a drill, socket set, and various driver bits. And the setter, of course.

See Post #1 for details.

Nice update . . .

P5 Posse, let's hear your thoughts on our Friday P5 ride. I like the Standing Stone Ride idea, but I remain flexible . . .

I'm just in it for the margs and tacos I have been promised. We could do laps around Adult World for 10min and meet back at the Mexican place and I'd still be happy.

Nice update . . .

I try... its like herding cats.. well kittens.

Ok.

 

[Red500]

I like SSS. Brace yourself for sticker shock . . .

I'll second that, they are nice but they are pricey.

But, for those of us that insist on trail riding a P5 . . .

Also, yes I'll absolutely help install!

Another recent thought: vinyl or rubber (or other) spacers at the side locations to aid cleaning/washing. Those spots are a bit higher than the main frame anyway. I've been thinking of trying it. Wouldn't need to be very thick.

...badly, twice. I have since corrected one. Not fun, since I'm mechanically declined (snapped bolts). No biggie for many folks, I'm sure.

I have ricochet, beat the s*** out of em, super easy install.

 

[Jason W]

And yes for standing stone

That is a sweet offer, right there! Always have to remind myself to turn the metal bits slowly, let them bite (P5 style!).
