All the hip about Portal hubs and the cost doesn't make it practical does it?......so it can be done...at a price right....P500's are viewed as introductory SxS's...and considered low powered by many users....I personally don't have a problem with it.....than again I'm 64......I guess the bottom line as to what I'm trying to say is why spend the extra money on a P500 when you could own a P1000 or Razor 570....
Not a huge Polaris fan. Honda all the way. The whole aftermarket parts industry has their noses jammed straight up Polaris's and Can Am's a$$. I wanted to build something different. I thought the P5 was hideous when i first seen it. Then a few months went by and i seen one with some maybe 28" mud tires on it, and it got my mind wandering. If i didnt own a sxs, I would never set out to buy a 500 and then buy portal hubs for it. I would spring for the 700 or 1000 instead. However, i bought the P5 because i just kinda seen the potential in it. I love projects, and the 500 looked like a project from heaven. After owning it for probably over a year, doing numerous mods to it, it dawned on me one day that my wifes P7-4 had a lot of the same front end parts on it, and if they make portals for a P7-4, then maybe those portals could also go on a P5. After lots of parts # research, and swapping parts back and forth between hers and mine, i determined the portals would fit. Like i said before though, it wasnt a gamble for me, because if i was wrong i would just put the portals on her P7-4. I know its not for everybody, and i will probably have more problems with this set up down the road than if i wouldve just kept my 30s on it, but i like it. I definetly expect to go through balljoints, and when they break, they will probably break or bend something else. Im just a different oddball i guess lol
