Maybe not the best mod but probably the best insurance for under $100, snorkel and vent lines. Cheap and easy diy'er. One "oh sh**" moment and the rest of the mods don't mean squat.

I don't have a 500 but, NUFF SAID!

Have you done the mod yet? If so, did it make a difference?

I installed the billet aluminum Talon upgraded on my machine that flows better then the stock plastic Talon's, it is over kill for most Pioneer's.
To answer your question, I did it to one of my friends Pioneer LE and he claims it is better he has no other mods.

Where would we find the billet aluminum upgraded one for the Talon? 🤔

I am not sure what you want to know?
It works 😊
It gives you more mid range power the stock Pioneer cam is a Stupid Stupid Stupid design Honda detuned the Pioneer 1000 everywhere you look it is not designed for power, small intake tube ( stock ok, moded machine restrictive) air box and filter on the small side but ok, intake adapter very bad, Camshaft designed for low end power it starts to choke up at roughly 7,000 rpm's exhaust tube diameter (stock ok moded too small) muffler bad.

I will start sounding like a broken record as I keep repeating myself.

On a stock machine here is my recommendation, 1 replace intake adapter oem Talon is good enough unless you are going to replace your cam and port your head.
2 replace your muffler and tune it and enjoy.

Anything after that is going to cost you the big bucks.

OK, looks like basically it improves mid range somewhat, but surely does not add 30hp.

You might want to read post 17 on the linked thread to help understand where they hid the thirty HP.
It would help give you more top end to but the cam is holding you back.
Don't expect a lot maybe 1 to 5 HP?

Long distance cruising? How would a pioneer or talon do?

My dad and I are looking at purchasing pioneer 1000s or talons and we are really curious how they would do on long distance rides, where we live they allow quads and side by sides. We would be doing 80-100 mile runs cruising a steady 40-45 mph. Would they handle it? No one has given us a yes or...

Good list above. I’ll add :
The Reverse lever adjustment for no more pulling and the seat belt limiter disable, Free.
A metal box (close to $100).
Harbor Freight 3500 winch on sale for $99.
Wireless winch remote for $15.
Pulley snatch block for hard winching insurance.
Northern tool LED cub light for cargo light mounted on rear of OEM roof and it tilts down for a cab light (2 for $25).
A horn for getting the attention of riding buddies.
A LED volt meter for the dash after I had a bad voltage regulator that fried a battery with 18v output.
Headlight eyes from @thevinylcreator
Telescoping spring type radio antennas for spider web catchers
Side mirrors.

Three years later and all working fine.

I'm still new at this, bought my P 5 three months ago, here are mine so far: Throttle Maxx, Trigger Shield, side mirror, and the Cab Frame Cargo Bag.

The best bang for the buck on a Pioneer 1000, is the Talon air tube to throttle body adapter it is under $7.00

I tried to get my stock out and the screw head started to strip...anyone else try this and have the same issue?
