I remember when mine was that clean. :(
Don't worry, it didn't stay clean long.

I’ve had my P500 for two years and three weeks and just hit 4500 miles. It is driven in demanding mountain conditions in the northern Bitterroots and I’ve had no issues with its capabilities or performance. I’d suggest ignoring comparisons with other machines on paper. Honda is very good at creating machines that are much more than the sum of their parts.

So I'm just going to keep telling my story in this thread if thats cool? No need to make another thread for my boring "build".

Took it all apart.

Viper midnight 4500# with the EMP mount. If this one ever burns up, I want to go widespool and its the only one I saw that had widespool mounting holes.

Snorkel. Not exactly how I wanted to run it. But I wanted to keep the baffle and didn't want a bunch of bends so this is how I did it.

All buttoned up back together.

Got it stuck on the bottom. No biggie. Any of our machines would have been.

We flopped her a little bit. Not bad. Cannedham was driving (pictured)

But all in all, amazing first outing with it at Busco Beach. Couldn't have asked for better.

And now I can say with absolute confidence, that the P500 is the machine for me. It was awesome. Thanks to yall for all for all the great advice on the forum. Can't wait to dig deep and make it even better. Exactly 32 miles on it now after the first trip.
