Hello from Derail

Hello, I'm Derail

Hi. My name is Darrell and I live in southern Ohio. Have owned my P500 for a couple of years and really like the compact size of this machine. Great for exploring the woods where there are no trails. I use my buggy for yardwork, hunting, and trail riding. No big mods yet. Installed the Honda roof, windshield, bed, mirror, and a-arm guards. Also mounted a Jensen weatherproof radio and amplified speakers. And a small LED light bar n fog lights. Next up is a set of front n rear Walker Evans shocks. I plan on ordering them tomorrow or the next day. I would be curious to hear from someone else who has installed the WE shocks. They are expensive but my P500 rides rougher than a hay wagon at anything faster than a walking pace and that is really the only gripe I have about this awesome little machine. HAPPY TRAILS !!!

Here is a little info about me to begin with!
Honda SxS ownership : Yes
I have owned, or currently own the following: UTV, Motorcycle
My off-road experience level is: Skilled
My favorite place to ride is: Hatfield-McCoy trail system, West Virginia

Yes I saw his videos on youtube and it certainly was helpful but I did not see an evaluation after he installed all 4 shocks. I am reluctant to spend that kind of cash on shock absorbers (I am not rich) but do have a lot of respect for Walker Evans equipment. I know WE manufactures good stuff but have been around a few decades and know that there is only so much you can do with 5 or 6 inches of wheel travel. But having said all that, I am gonna order a set and will be happy to give an honest evaluation after I get them installed and have a little time to evaluate them.

Cool.
When you get them and plan a trip to check them out let me know.
I'm just outside of Springfield.
A trip to Perry SF or Wayne NF?
Always looking for a ride!

Welcome to the forum Darrell. I'm also curious to hear if the WE are worth it. Removing the sway bar softens the ride a bit if you haven't done so already.
