Hi. Live in northeast Ohio and just joined the group; looks like an awesome group. Purchased a new 520 yesterday and awaiting delivery from the dealer. Wondering if 500 accessories will fit on the 520? example roof, windshield, etc. Looking at sites other than Honda for better pricing as well as Honda. Any thoughts would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome from WNC !!! Red is the slowest but it’s still an awesome little machine. Congrats on the buy and you will have a blast on it.

Update: 520 is in the shop due to issues encountered with shifting; gets into a state where the mph only displays zero while driving and issues with the engine light coming on in MT mode while shifting into third gear. Hoping they can resolve the issue and no damage has been done having driven it. As per the dealer, suspect may be a sensor issue but they have a call into Honda for advice before taking any actions.

Welcome to the forum. They'll fit. Thanks for posting that pic, anyone else noticing that piece in the fender well? I heard they added skid plates under the rockers but looks like they took it even further.

First off, welcome from Ontario, this is a great forum!
Trigger, here's a better shot of that area. I don't know what the 500 had for protection underneath, but the only exposed items are the four A-arms. There is a metal belly pan that is under the entire body/engine, then thick polycarbonate at the front and the rear.

Update: 520 is back home and running great, shifting great. Feedback was that the unit had a wiring connection issue from when it was built. Works great now and so much fun to drive . Dealer did a nice job resolving the issue, based on initial test drive

Nice! Glad to see they gave that area some attention, I had to make wheel well liners for mine.
