P500 Making your own rear bumper

[HP5NC]

So I have been thinking about making my own rear bumper out of some “C” channel steel. I’m not sure how the Honda rear bumper attaches to the machine as the install directions are not posted up here on the forum. I figure a piece of 46-48” C channel would be somewhat heavy so the attachment points need to be solid. Any ideas as to where Honda attaches their rear bumper?? I’m not 100% gonna use a piece of C channel but I thought if I did I could put some cube LED lights in it.

I made my own and mounted it just like the OEM Honda bumper.

What type of material did you use? I see strong made already makes a bumper like I had in mind.

I honestly don't remember , I believe it was hot/cold roll. It was some tubing I had laying around. I can get you some pics later on tonight to show how i mounted it , if you need them. You will need to make/buy 4 spacers though.
