Well, I'm this close to pulling the trigger on a new P500. Reading all the threads about tricking your P500 has giving me the shakes. I can't figure where to start. I have never owned any type of ATV/UTV. Lots of off road experience in 4x4 hunting trucks. I'll mostly be in Eastern Sierra mountains or Nevada desert. This will be a hunting rig.
My question to the group is, if you were to buy a new P500, what Honda accessories would you start with?
Or since I'm not a great wrench (adequate but not great), what would you advise me to start with from the factory/dealer? Hardtop, glass window, accessory electrical harness, mirrors, rear box, rear tray, bigger tires, winch, etc ?
I don't want to go overboard right away, but, want a good start. And, figuring some of the Honda accessories are better than after market and vice a versa. Thank you for your help.
:) Soundsystem and sunglasses!
But seriously, Sierra Mtns. and Nevada desert...GPS.

No need for all that. LOL. I will help just because it's the neighborly thing to do.

Very tempting...
Offer is still good just under 300 miles on the machine, all tricked out :) I'm headed to Douglas, GA to pick up a new 34' enclosed trailer next weekend shouldn't be too far away from Alabama. :)

I bought my trailer down in Douglas. Their prices are worth the drive.

Jackal...did you get your trailer? Did you have them put in e-track?
