@jak9922 Thanks for the compliments, I will not change the suspension, just added the seats for comfort not fast riding. I'll leave that to you.

I'm glad you've finished. My wife may kill me if I get another box in from Rocky Mountain. You are a bad influence on an impressionable mind. Ha! I've got to post some new pics. I have followed your lead and purchased the Hi-Lift jack. I then "had" to purchase the brackets, a rear bumper to mount the brackets, a front bumper (it was on sale), a KFI winch mount, and a buttload of weatherstripping, grommets, connectors,etc. I WAS happy with my rig before seeing your build, now I'm constantly adding "just one more thing". Ha! Used my only downtime today looking at front racks and gun boots. You may have to come to AK to stand watch while I sleep. Between the baby and my increasingly perturbed wife, I'm not getting much rest.

Thanks to @jrplaza2008 of Creative UTV Graphics for their fall promotion. Got my 16" decal for my P500 in matching Olive Green. Looks awesome. Cheers!

Awesome rig, have you had any battery issues running the stereo and light bar together, our bikes have a bit bigger charging system than the 700 so I think it should be ok.

I have not had it out after dark long enough to tell. Both draw about 250 watts combined so I should be OK.

How did you end up mounting your Beard Bucket suspension seats? I seen a photo in another thread and they look GREAT!!!!!

It is all shown in this very thread from day i took it home to current setup just start on page 2 or three of this thread and scroll through it listed things in detail with many photos.

Thanks

Long story short I wanted to be able to go back to factory so i made my own seat pans rather than cut on the factory plastic ones. The seats attached by a front hook in the factory location and rely on the harness to secure it at top rear. Just got back from a week long ride they work perfectly. See my post on ride report Royal Blue in TN on these forums.

Just a follow up answer to your question. We had the P500 out in the dark running the 30" light bar and radio for a few hours daily over 4 consecutive days when riding in TN a few weeks ago. Everything worked great had no hint of battery drain the OEM stator could not keep up with. Very happy with the performance of the soundbar / light bar / & the P500 in general. Definitely a nimble machine for tighter trails.

I grant you it is pricey but for what its worth it is very well built and its sound performance in both clarity and loudness has me beyond impressed. I bought it because I wanted it and already had everything I needed on the way so I used a RMATV 10% off code and $100 of customer loyalty cash to get it for $440 instead of the $599. The wife had hinted at getting tunes as we had never had any on the trail before. Very happy I went with it.

I just joined this forum I don't have a rig yet....but I have a man crush on yours....holy crap!! Great work....

Little buddy got himself a big brother.

I love your build. Thanks for sharing and the detail someday I may do the same thing for the seats. I also love the jack idea. I'll add one of those at some point too. Thanks again

This is the Soundbar I got it just came in today very sturdy built aluminum frame and mounts.
MUD6SPBT Universal 6 Speaker All Weather Sound Bar with Bluetooth

OMG! Just showed the misses and she said, "add it to the cart"!!!!!!

 

[Montecresto]

So Jackal, did a wiring harness come with the sound bar? I can't see where you ran the wiring from the sound bar. And the mirror, where'd you find it. And how are you able to fit the mirror and sound bar on the same front roll cage bar??

I comes with all the wiring and a fuse needed ran the wiring along the roll cage, a single small wire to an ignition hot wire and the main direct to the battery. Comes on automatically when key is turned on. The frame of the sound bar is extruded aluminum with channels that will let you mount the clamps top, bottom, or back side anywhere along the entire length, the actual clamps stand the sound bar just far enough away from the roll bar to allow a Honda clamp to fit in there, it touches but doesn't crush anything.

So it's a Honda mirror and Honda clamp?? And it gets low enough to see beneath the black Honda bag you have hanging on the back roll cage bar? Like everyone else, I too appreciate the time and effort you put into your expose' in this thread!!!!!!!
