The Elka website has not been updated to reflect 2022 & 2023 models for Honda Pioneer 1000. So you may have to lie on the model year to get what you want because da yooper on the phone or email will see it stops at 21 MY and says we have nothing for you. this is the same delimma all Pioneer 500 owners face as they stop at 2017 MY even though the shoucks physical dimensions didn't change. There is a Canadian political issue about the P500 but thats another story not germain to getting you shocks, just know that 2023 P500/520 owners can get Elka shocks just have to say its off a 2017 model to get the order completed.

All that said, here the link to begin the order process of what you ask for:

So the 2021 units should work?

As far as I know,

Yes The suspension travel and geometry didn't change. Only the upper A-arm changed by attaching with two bolts with 4 frame tabs vs. one long bolt and two frame tabs.

The length of the shock (eye to eye), bolt hole diameter, etc all should be the same. the rest is just valving and spring weight which should all be comparable from previous model years.

@HondaTech can you verify the shock length eye to eye for '22 & '23 model Pioneer 1000's are the same as the 2016-21 model years prior to the top A-Arm change? All use 12mm x60mm bolts but the cost of a 2021 OEM shock is $123 and the cost of a 2023 OEM shock is $645
