We have so many nice days here that we just pass on the few rainy days and especially the super hot days. Unfortunately, the days that we do ride, it’s usually dusty.
Our whole spring around here has been cold and rainy. We still have snow on the local mountain tops.

Nice Ride.
I really like having the OEM Honda glass windshield with a wiper. We were riding in Central Wash, near Ellensburg, and it rained on us again, and too much snow to get up to Funny Rocks. May get to see some dust in July. Who knows.

I will check it out. Not too dusty around here right now, but it normally is. Looks like a rain forest today.
Nice ride. I have the 2021 -5. I too ride dusty logging trails here in SW Washington. Trust me, you are going to want to enclose your cab as much as possible or you'll be chewing the dust and wearing it home.

Thanks and I will take the cab enclosure as good advice. The next piece is adding a windshield and I am considering the Super ATV Flip up hard coated windshield. Any thoughts on this one rather than a Honda brand windshield.

I did not see e a flip up model offered by Honda. Are Honda parts better quality than the after market? The prices are not significantly different, although Honda costs a little more.

That is good to know. I have considered the glass windshield, the price has held me back. I am taking that the wiper kits are only practical for glass windshields and they will scratch plastic ones.

Fwiw, I don't bother enclosing my cab at all. Ingesting a few teaspoons of dirt, cleaning a potato patch out of your nostrils, and double-shampooing to get it out of your hair is just part of riding to me. If I really disliked the dirt, I think the Pioneer would not be a really good choice. One of those fully-enclosed Polaris or Can-am with power windows and a/c would be a better fit. 😃
