I have put Wehli Fab mount on my list. Would you do both the upper and the lower brackets, or just the lower?
Just the lower unless you are racing or planning to pound the piss out of it. For the price it might be worth picking them both up just in the off chance you do bust up the upper.

Added the @SuperATV power steering kit a couple weeks ago and finally got to test it out. Soooo much better! This is how the Talon should come from Honda. Hopefully the 2023 units are this good.

Added a couple ditch lights while I had the cowl off too

What little I played with Adam's buggy over the weekend, the PS was an awesome improvement. Definitely on my short list to do on mine. Can't wait to see the photo drop from Brad! I always forget to take pictures or leave my phone in the machine.

Steering rack has had a tiny bit of slack in it for a while now. After the windrock ride and the power steering addition, it’s got enough to trigger the steering angle sensor fault for the live valve. Ordered a Hess rack and support plate that came in today. This thing is a unit! Not looking forward to the install but shouldn’t have to worry about steering rack issues any longer.

I’ve b****ed about these fender mounts before, and I fixed them on the passenger side a long time ago. Driver side was way worse. This is the dumbest design….

I know @Hondasxs boxed his in after I told him about mine way back when, but I don’t think he did both sides either…

Cut some gussets to box in the top and bottom

About to finish sanding off the powder and burn them in
