New to Honda and SXS. Bought ours on Saturday, took it on the reservation along the escarpment Sunday. We had Yamaha Grizzlys for the last 10 years and considered ourselves experienced riders. Well that's all gone out the window. There is a bit of a learning curve with this little green bugger. But the wife and I are very excited to get started. Accessories to start with are the Warn winch, Rear view mirror, Bimini top and Half windshield. I tow it in a 7X12 tandum enclosed trailer and it fits perfect. I am concerned about bottoming out, (did a few hard hits on Sunday) and about stability. Tires and wheels are in the future and a hard top. But height will be an issue. I have 6'-2" height at my trailer door. Looking forward to learning from the experience of all the members on this site.

Greetings fuimus and welcome to the forum. I have an enclosed trailer with a 72-1/2" vertical door opening and I have an EMP aluminum roof that goes in with no problem, it raises profile of P5 less than 1/2".
EMP roof bolts in 6 places to ROPS cage
I mounted rear light on a bracket so it's below roofline

Howdy from Oklahoma Fuimus, and welcome. You have chosen well. A lot of us like to name our rides here, and I am pretty sure "Little Green Booger" is not taken . I am sure @trigger will be jealous that he did not think of it first.

Very nice rig DaddyDubbs. I like the EMP roof and I really like your accessory picks. That bumper and winch setup is the way to go from what I have been reading and seeing

Thanks fuimus. One thing you will notice here (if you haven't already). Some owners keep it all Honda and only add OEM equipment, others use a combination of OEM and Aftermarket, some use only aftermarket and some owners fabricate any to all of their accessories. No matter which route you take it's all good, the P5 is a great machine, and this forum has a lot of experienced people that will gladly help you.

Lol, I read it as Booger too, not Bugger!
Welcome to the best forum on the web @fuimus . Look at that thing, brand spanky, clean and shiny, nice ride!
Takes a little getting used to but you'll end up loving the little dude. Fits just about anywhere and will surprise you at how capable it is. Wheels and bigger better tires make a huge difference in the ride and stability. Let the Amazon orders begin...
