P1000 Inner front fender protection

[Rayger143]

Well it happened. Stick came through front inner fender and also through under seat. I have searched and read threads on this but they are older. I might make my own but was just interested to see if there were any new products or ideas.

That's scary Zhit. Everthings gotta be plastic. Why?

I added running boards to mine with a 1x1 tube frame supporting the aluminum. To the front wheel well I added my version of a mud buster made out of 1/4" rubber belt that has fibre reinforcing in it That should slow down the sticks

I ended up installing some of the Super ATV inner fender guards... No issues so far, probably almost a year on them.

Compare that to the cost of a trip to an ER. Makes the most expensive skid plates look like a bargin !

That is a very close call. I cant imagine why the manufacturers have not put metal inner fenders on these units. Although I have seen pics of big branches coming thru the metal firewall of Jeep Wranglers also.
Scary stuff indeed.

Wow! Glad everyone is OK!

Wow, close call. Been one of my fears when out running through logging slash or trails with lots of branches and downed trees. I've been on fence for while myself, and was just on here yesterday reviewing old threads in fact. My only real hesitation on the superatv guards is rubbing. My '21 is stock, but i've upgraded to 28x10x14 carnivores on 5x2 offset wheels. Some have said 28s wont rub, others say they do. Depends on exact tires and offsets i suppose. That and terrain. I guess a little rub is a tradeoff I may just have to accept.

Would be nice if Honda recognized this hazard and did something with it in production!

They did. Added a smooth plastic panel. The question is if they did enough.
