A very good fabrication, and looks very nice too. It wouldn't hold up where I ride, I'd have the corners busted up on it. I even had to remove the rear bumper as it was hooking 3-4" trees as I weaved my way through the trails we push through places neither a hound or rabbit could go.

Oh I agree with that. Many of the trails we're riding are long abandoned logging trails. We always have chainsaws with us because often we have to cut fallen trees of the road and occasionally the trails haven't been used in such a long time that saplings have grown into small trees that must be cut down. Some of the trails we weave a
Polaris Ranger couldn't follow. I've watched my buddies back fenders bend against trees on sharp tight turns that would bust up the corners of your ride. So I'm building my back rack the shape of the OEM rack. You did a very nice job on yours, my commentary is not a criticism by any means.

I understand and those thoughts had crossed my mind but im hoping the bed was built strong enough if something should happen and common sense goes along way im not gonna put a 50in side x side in a 40inch area if I can help it so time will tell if it works it works if not ill break out the napkins & pencils again lol

I'm sure it works based on the type trails that you ride. A nice feature of the P-5, we can customize them to suit our personal use/needs!

miano248 that is a sweet ride, great build and love your customizing. I've been holding off posting updates until I get my parts back from powder coating. Really happy with these blank canvases Honda provided us. Can't wait for a little better weather hear to get some dirt on her!
