P1000 Aftermarket windshield wiper motor???

[Chris907]

i am looking to see if others have used an aftermarket wiper motor. I have one for my Polaris but can't seem to find anyone with a Honda that uses one. Want to know what type and fit. Would love to find one with more then 110 degree sweep. Thanks

I have searched everywhere also, I know there are wipers made for the bigger Pioneers, but have not been able to find much for the "baby" P=500. I just now located one at Amazon, was wondering what everyone thinks?

Looks pretty nice, they are only good on true glass... they will scratch poly or lexan windshields.Wiper is rarely needed and most don't have one.....

Yeah, I considered that. I have the hardcoated windshield and I really only need it for when I am plowing snow. It would only be used once in a while when the snow sticks to it. I shoulda' made a video of me sticking a long handled squeegee out the door and across the windshield! Anything would be better than that!

You may get away with it on snow and winter. I think the dust and dirt that lay on the blade is what scratches it.You could make sure the windshield and blade are clean. Also it wouldn't be to hard to rig a squirtor up or carry a spray bottle with windshield fluid.
Maybe someone with a hard coat shield will chime in

I run these on our glass windshield but they are designed for hard coat, like it's been said though they'll scratch if not careful but will be better in snow. Work incredible even being hand held. Kind of a necessity to at least have something for emergency

The sprayer like Ohana has would be a helpful thing in muddy conditions lol

Sprayer is SUPER EASY and awesome in muddy weather!

You can set up the wiper without the Honda Harness.

It’s installed there

 

[dale5740]

thats at least good that it sits high. But I dont like how it only works well for driver and not passenger!

So in searching this thread I'm still not finding where anyone has an electric windshield wiper on a P500. I have the SxS Windshields GLASS windshield on my P500 - great windshield - but have found the occasional need for a wiper and would prefer an automatic one as opposed to the hand operated one. I will also be installing a defroster since we get hard frost and occasional freezing rain/mist in our hunting seasons here in northern MN and I don't like reaching out with a scraper to keep the windshield clean while driving.

I installed a wiper off a Ford Escape rear window, it goes 180 deg, I have to stop it by the switch as I didn't want power to it at all times for the auto reset. I can stop it above the rubber trim on my glass windshield, I used a window washer from a Hyundai Accent under the seat

I have installed an aftermarket windshield wiper and washer reservoir on my 1000-5 and it's great. The whole set up was about $130 cdn and it works just fine. I bought extra hose at a hardware store and stored the reservoir under the seat and the button next to the seat. Install was easy, I just had to remove one of the screws and drill one other and it tucks away under the roof until needed. I have the Honda hardened windshield and it hasn't been scratched up yet. The only issue I would say was the wiper has a small stroke so it doesn't clear the whole window but it does my side just fine for snow and mud which is fine for me.

Which year motor did you get?

Not sure of the year, went to the junk yard and they had it off. I asked them for one that went 180deg. You can adjust the length by using a different blade. Cost me $20
