My handicap accessible P5! Hand controls, door removed & hip bar removed. Wheelchair lift installed but not wired up yet. This vehicle does exactly what I need & loads easily on my atv trailer!

Great job! What communications to you have where you ride? Cell service or not? No cell service where I ride so got a small waterproof ham radio for the P500, THT TY 8600. Mounts near rear view mirror with honda clamp.

These are an old set I removed from my 88 Ford Ranger. Only had to fab a plate to mount to the firewall. Adjusted it & they work great. Push to Brake, pull down to accelerate.
This week I wire up power to the chair lift, install my glovebox, wire up backup lights.Looks good!Any plans for future mods

HondaBob64,
To one gray beard to another - thank you for sharing the pictures. The mechanics for the hand controls appear to be a simply effective design, and well made. It amazes me how people can design and make these wonderful adaptations!

I greatly admire and respect folks like you who find ways to enjoy power sports and the great outdoors while dealing with physical challenges. If you are fabricating some or all of your modifications - that is even more impressive!
I am selective in what forums I join. My time is valuable. During the winter, one of my selfish pleasures is to go to my forums and read up and learn new things about what interests me. I am so happy I recently joined this forum. There is a very positive and helpful vibe on almost every thread I read. Thank you to HondaBob64 for sharing, and to the moderators who keep things positive, and to you members for all your helpful posts.

A bunch of us ride up that way fairly often. Maybe you come up for a weekend sometime ? I’ve ridden all over Idaho but there are still some places I have not yet seen, so once I’m settled and if the world hasn’t gone to shirts, maybe we can come down and do silver city or some such. Wish I could get everyone to ride more north central Idaho stuff like Orogrande, Frank Church and a few others...
Would love to. Silver City is great. Frank Church area has a few good trails, but they closed one of my favorites after a fire a few years ago.
I might have misunderstood "Frank Church." I am speaking of the Frank Church Wilderness area that is accessed from Highway 21 West of Stanley, Idaho. You pull off the highway at the Boy Scout camp exit and take the gravel road towards the Seafoam Lake area. Turn east on Rabbit Creek Road and you can get to Pinion Point, which is almost 10,000' in elevation. I admit I have not been there for seven years to camp and ride, so maybe they blocked everything off. The USFS was closing some atv trails at that time and turning some of them into single tracks.
It's a big area, so perhaps it is also accessed from another border.
My brother lives in Hayden, Idaho near Coeur de Alene. I would love to ride in the Pend Oreille area of Idaho. I say a You Tube video a couple years ago where some folks rode their atv's right from a campground to a trail that appeared to be located around the lake. That sure would be pretty.
