I've had a bad line from factory on my Polaris. really sucky feeling knowing someone else definitely f***ed up, buy ultimately it was your responsibility to check it before you went out.

200 dollars later... I check all my brake lines. Good job Honda.

Just a mock up. I think it's going to help a lot.
When paired with a fan I think it's gonna be as good as it can get.

Not to mention the bed rattle should be gone

That looks like it seals up nicely. Now go for a drive and report back with your results!

Especially in the back!

Took some inspiration from somewhere, I don't really remember where, and made a mocked up bumper. It's all bolt on and I can take it off and there will only be 4, 1/2 inch holes in the bumper.

I need to rework the structural side of things behind the bumper, right now it's basically held on by 1/8 or thinner plate. I need some washers and stuff to shim things and pad them. I want to get some quarter or something closer to that, and really tie the stuff in together.

It's all on hard, and I could hook up to it and get dragged out of the snow, but I wouldn't trust getting jerked out of a deep mud hole. It's just not strong enough.

The winch is a come along style. Im hoping it will behave similar to a tiger tail. I'm gonna hook up rope to that for jerking, and I'll get a winch for winching when I get some cash.

Took way longer than I expected.....

Good to see you back on it

The hooks cost more than the winch did. Have a minor mod to do. Just gonna put one of those locking pins over the lock on the winch, that way I don't lose my rope driving down the trail.

Pull the pin, grab the rope, hook it up, and reinstall pin.

Pull the pin, wind the spool, insert pin.

No more knotted rope. No tangles. No digging it out. Hope it works. Maybe I'll pull against a tree or something tomorrow.

Boom I have followed this thread and It's just my opinion but the steam could be stopped with a mid panel. You have doors and a full shield.Its causing a vacuum effect. The 700s do the same thing.

Sucky thing is I was never told it was required to have a mid panel when I bought it. I don't have the mid panel, or the 150 for it.

There's too much talk that the Honda signature series pieces are not compatible. If you needed the mid panel for the windshield to work they should have sold me a full cab system..

I'm making this work.

And I'm not buying anymore soft flappy stuff again in my life. I just don't like it. If I do get the mid panel, it's gonna a be the 500 dollar one. and more realistically, before I spend 500 dollars, I'll be making my own.

Truthfully I'd rather have a mid panel and keep my back Panel rolled up. It's a pain in the but to unzip and roll up Everytime I want to get at something in the back. It would be nice to keep it rolled up until it's snowing or raining and the. You can unroll it to keep your stuff dry.

As for the vacuum effect I had talked briefly a long time ago about ducting a bilge blower to suck outside air and push it into the cab through a air filter. Basically making a positive pressure in the cab( or at least less vacuum), with dust free air, and providing some circulation on those hot days. I just don't know where I can pull air from. we will see if I do it or not.

If you looked at my pics of my heater idea, all I would have to do is duct my plenum intake to the driver side and drill a hole in the seat panel next to the door. It would pull air from outside, through a filter, push it through a heater core and pump it inside. I could twist a knob and shut the heater core off and just blow cool air into the cab.

Only problem is I cross deep rivers. If I put the duct inside of the cab, it might keep my stuff from drowning. But I guess all that could drown is a radiator fan ( should be waterproof) and a filter. Might be worth dealing with for some fresh air.

Went for a ride. The engine cover is important. That is stopping almost all the steam on its own.

There still is some steam though, and the noodle slows it down a LOT. I put my hand over the noodle and mostly the heat comes from the rails on the bed. There's like a 2 inch hole. I pulled the noodle out and a bunch of hot air rolled into the cab.

So I think pairing this with the bilge blower will keep the steam under the rig long enough for the fan to blow it away. Very happy.

Also got some rope on the front of my rig. Need some kind of winder. Takes too long by hand.

A bilge blower is going to be like pissing on a forest fire trying to offset the low pressure area behind the windscreen.

Best is to block it with a panel.

No matter how well you try to seal a cab up, dust is getting in. It's annoying but unless you make a cab that seals perfectly theres gonna be dust. My favorite time to ride was in the rain, I had a full cab on my 700.



I wanted to be able to remove the Windshield and panel in the summer. So I got the soft mid panel this time instead of hard. It has huge gaps but keeps a LOT of dust and crap off of you.

Well. I say bilge blower but I'm talking about a radiator fan. If you saw my heater parts list it's there. It's a 1500 cfm fan. I would bet that cab has like 30 cubic feet of air.

The bilge blowers everyone else is using is like 140 cfm. Regardless, it's all theoretical. I'll let you know when it's actual.
