Govt Mule 2024 Talon 1000R Parts Addition Thread

[Fatsquatch]

I blame each and every one of you! Had I not purchased the Pioneer after joining here, had loads of fun with you morons (Nomofosho), really gotten into riding and exploring (again nomo) , saw how cool the Talons were, and bought one…NONE of this would have happened! I blame the forum.

On behalf of HondaSxS forum members all over ….
Sorry, not sorry. 😈

Hey did you see that other new accessory thread by the way?

I blame @Remington for us buying our Talon. True story.

🤣😂🤣🥳

I blame Polaris! After owning a General that was just one big rubber band nightmare! with electrical problems. My wife said lets look at Honda. Hahahaha

 

[GovtMule]

Honda Fender Flares added. Still gotta add the mudflaps (nomo) but I’m pleased. I’ll take some better pics when I decide to exit the cool air and enter the sauna.

 

[Scrappapotamus]

Looking good

Have you had to change the belt yet? 🤣

My electrical mockup is coming along. Need a better panel for the Auxbeam and different hardware, but I can see the end. Need Bosman (not Bossman) to send my bumper so I can actually mount the winch too.

I made the panel (on the right) wider and put it over there.

Yep, X2 on the Bosman bumper hemorrhoid!

Wiring is complete. Errthing works. No fires. I’ll call it a win. Just need my bumper to actually mount the winch to!

That phucking wiring is awesome. 🤣

Fixed it for Ya! 😉

While waiting for my Turn Pro to arrive (and the damn Bosman front bumper so I can finish my winch wiring) I mocked up a custom mud keeper outer. Should be pretty tight (her, twss) when I button everything up (when the DAMN bumper gets here) . It goes down into the tunnel and I hope will keep mud out somewhat.

Looks good. Did you make 2?

No…but I might can. Iffen I end up with enough material left over. Have to use a little more for the area in front of the rear wheels. Gonna try to make my own for there too.

 

[GovtMule]

While I continue to wait for parts I need to put this b**** back together I’ve had some creative ideas. Gonna attempt to mount some cube lights (from the Bossman who actually gets you the things you need, not to be confused with the Bosman who apparently does not) using homemade brackets on the lower portion of my flip up windshield. I “think” it will work.

That works and the cavity that the ROPS disappears into is a great area to route wiring undetected and safe from things on the trail that sometimes kidnap vulnerable items not part of your machine's original DNA. If you ride late fall, you may find yourself riding in the dark from either not pacing yourself, an unforeseen occurrence or you enjoy running through the woods in total darkness? It's crazy how short the days become and how the temps drop week to week. I'm sure there's less traffic after dark? Nice job with the brackets, an ideal location / solution. I wonder if you install a piece of rubber between the bracket and lower panel clamp which might lessen any distortion from the lower windshield panel?

Done. I put a piece of rubber in between the bracket and the windshield just to reduce any chance of rattle between the two. It’s solid and stable. Shouldn’t shake under motion.

Nice

Nice!

Wish I’d have done this vs the big light bar down low at times as the light bar is blocking some of the air flow when the SATV window is opened on the first slot.
