OK, this is my first post since I became a member back in October. I brought my new 2017 green P5 home October 30th. Today it has 303 miles. After dealing with four different dealers, I bought it for $10,036 OTD. That included Honda windshield, roof and NY registration and 8.5% sales tax. I found some good used ITP 12" 3+4 wheels on Craig's List close to home and bought ITP 27" Mud Lites on Ebay, 9s in the front and 10s rear. I bought a large hard plastic box for the rack and a hitch for the receiver at Tractor Supply. I installed a Strong Made front bumper with a Terra 35 Super Winch mounted on top with cover. The winch has a rocker switch mounted in the dash above my left knee, a plug in the grill for my wired remote, plus it is wired for my wireless remote. I mounted my gun rack on rear top bar under the roof. I have all four Mudbuster fender extensions on. I have the Tusk rear panel. I have Chooglin's glove box. I have a dual trumpet air horn (LOUD) under the hood with horn button in the dash, side mirrors and just installed Tusk power steering Friday afternoon. I did the seat belt and reverse mods, but have yet to unhook the sway bar. I did my own first service at 100 miles. My P5 hauled out four nice bucks in November (only one was mine) and one was a 12 point. I live in Northern Allegany Co. of Western NY. Most of my riding is in hilly, muddy woods. I have owned Honda ATCs and ATVs since 1983. I still have a 2001 Rubicon with 13,000 miles. I am just shy of 68, retired from Morton Salt after 44 years and am a Vietnam Vet. This forum is the sole reason my P5 is set up the way it is, THANK YOU!

Nice buck and nice ride!
Anyone have a link to the reverse mod? Did a search and came up with nothing. Also was reading the sway bar disconnect only gives you and extra 1" of movement, not sure if it's worth it or not. I just got mine 2 weeks ago and I've been debating it.

I waited forever to do it and wished I'd have done it on day one, it's worth it. Don't know of anyone who has hooked it back up after trying it.
