P1000m5 Adam490's Short Bus

Adam490 submitted a new Garage Item:

Adam490's Short Bus Budget Build

Bought new from Honda Powersports of Covington. Went with the P1k5 after riding a few times with my daughter on my Rubicon and realizing we needed something more secure and comfortable to fit the whole family. She's been dubbed the Short BusView attachment 142813

Survived Stony Lonesome and hanging out with Joey and crew. Pretty sure everything is still mechanically sound, but she's got some new battle scars for sure! I'll know the full extent after she gets a bath this weekend. I foresee 30's in the near future too...

Looks Like You had a good time, This may be a stupid or obvious question that everyone will probably say if You have to ask You won't understand but I am just curious what made You change Your mind and make You feel like You would like to have 30" over 28" ???? , I just got 28" EVO's and 14" Rims and Fox shocks I went ahead and got the Super ATV A-arms because eventhough the 28" EVO's will fit it was still to close for my comfort Level and I figured that at that point if I didn't like the 28" down the road I could go with the 30" I will probably stick with the EVO's I have been very happy with them, I haven't had a chance to put all that stuff on yet looking forward to when I do, Thank You Have a good time cleaning that mud,,,

I really like these Evos, they are a great tire for the muddier local areas I ride down here but still hold up pretty well in the rockier areas that I go ride up in TN or AL. If you check out the videos from the night ride we just did out at Stony Lonesome, you need every bit of clearance you can get. I was the only machine on tires smaller than 30's and I struggled in a couple places where that extra few inches of clearance would have made the difference between winching up the rocks and making the line. I'm probably going to pick up some 30" Terrabites before Takeover in April and keep my Evos for my muddier local areas. If you're not running with a group that's purposely looking for the hardest way through the rocks, you'll never have any issues with the 28" tires.

@farmtimpioneer watch how much easier the white P1k3 goes through the same line right after me. He's got 30" Terrabites and forward arms. If you keep watching, the white P1k5-ish flat bed makes it look like driving over a parking bumper at the mall.. But we don't like that @snuffnwhisky guy

@farmtimpioneer these are pretty tough trails. From what you've said before, I don't think this is the type of riding you plan to do and your tire/wheel selection will be great for your riding style. Just get them on there and enjoy the ride

My Biggest challenge is keeping the dog in the bed, He don't like it when He gets muddy and keeping my Wonderful Wife from spilling Her Starbucks,

Actually, weight was #2. Stripper pole was #1 but still haven't figured out a way to keep the guys off of it...

Rock Creek aftermath, nothing a little Krylon and SC1 won't fix!

Got my Garmin Virb XE in. Have it mounted on the hood right now but still trying to figure out the best spot for it.

That’s gonna shake like an epileptic at a rave.

You’ll need something solid to mount it to.

What is the general consensus on best place to mount it? I know you had yours in the cab of the Talon at stoney and it looks like it shot well. I think @joeymt33 had his on the front bumper or maybe that was @snuffnwhisky? I ordered a roll bar mount to try but was worried it wouldn't take good video being behind the windshield.

Mines mounted on the front bumper , does have a bit of a vibration , tried to pad the mount I used and it helped a bit . Do think my 700 has more vibration in it inherently.

it was suction cup mounted to the glass windshield of my neighbors talon, he doesn’t wash the windshield like I do but if it’s right against the glass it does pretty well 99% of the time.

I have mine mounted to the outside of the windshield or the light bar on my bumper but there’s no rubber on either of those.

my rear one is mounted to the ROPS with a roll bar mount.

there’s vibration in the 1000 it’s a twin, but it can be somewhat mitigated.

stopped or going slowly they take spectacular pictures and video.

I tagged Plumber32 in one in the Overland 2019 picture thread (LINK).

I’ve got mine stuck to the lower windshield with the GoPro adhesive mount.
