Today I ordered the Honda cab cargo bag and the receiver hitch extension to get the Osprey away from the tailgate of the P1K. Two things that will install in moments, no wrenching lol.

Listen fellas. I am not anti devil's tower. It literally looks like a petrified tree stump. Ok I've seen it at least 4 times. I majored in earth science and spent 6 weeks "studying" In wyoming in a 400 level class. Really I was just there for the mountains, drinking and fly fishing. I'm not going to have a s*** fit if we stop. It's just not on, or near, the top of my list. I prefer the grand tetons, glacier np, Denali, the red woods, Yellowstone, grand canyon, rocky mountains, Estes park, just to name a few. But I am willing to stop, have a beer, and we can all talk about how lack luster it is and that it looks like a giant turd.


Ps. This is not a rant.

I am extremely interested in your review of the regulators. Now get to installing!
What are your thoughts on the snorkel/cover that Honda has made and sells to overcome the problem of water splashing from the wheels into the intake??

I truthfully don't have one. I haven't seen the cover yet, and the vast majority just snorkel it since it's so easy and a proven fix. And it's not a huge permanent mod. If you decide to un-snorkel it, it all comes right off and you can get a new hood for 40 bucks. I just redid mine this week.

Saw it installed on @pmward 1000 at the Mulberry ride. Very clean, looks OEM, matches everything else under the hood and cost just around $20.00

If it works it works. Give er a try. I kind of prefer the mean look of the snorkel sticking out the hood.
Gotcha, and that's the part I don't like. I don't drive through water that's over a foot, I go around, so I don't need true snorkeling, but even following the ten inch rule, water can splash into the intake without the aftermarket remedy prepared by Honda (at our expense I might add, something I see Polaris perennially criticized for. ;))

I don't generally either, but I feel more confident when the need arises with the snorkel. Try out the factory deal and let me know how it works!

I wasn't sure. I ride with some boys that go out of their way to dive off into every source of water we see. If I participated in that, I'd be fully snorkeled, but I'm always going to go around anything other than the typical Creek crossing which in my riding area is rarely over a foot or so.

I don't ain't for it, but I don't go out of my way to avoid the water either.

Thank you for making my point.;)
Your point being that I shouldn't bother removing my sxs from the trailer in a place I'll never be? :D
