Also , I called my local dealer , they want 103$ per shock. So 168$ shipped from MRCycles: OEM Motorcycle and ATV Parts not bad at all

I'm going to have to wait on this for a bit... I hope the prices don't go up too bad. Still trying to recover from the new truck purchase (and subsequent mod purchases, of course)

I just ordered, so will update

SO to order all new shocks front and back I will lose 1" clearance but get a better ride...and from Mrcycles were talking 2017 front and rear shock absorbers (plus extras)? Will that include spring (no picture available)? Looking to be around $385. Thanks!

I contacted Fox and W/E...no plans. Not enough of a demand I guess....of course I try to e-mail them once a month just to let them know were waiting

Thought I read that the P500 is Honda's second top seller aside from foreman ATV?

Ok....So I had to go look, they're all stamped HL5G-C21. The tech said they were made by progressive. BUT if I search that # i get squat

The new 2017 adjustable front shocks on the P500 are part number 51400-HL5-C21

Don't want to upset anyone but , NEWS FLASH ! Pioneer 500 is not nor will it ever be a sport sxs , it is a utility sxs . Love it for what it is or buy one of these and the p word to go with it .

Some comfort to the ride with better shocks is good to have for me. I drive with 6 psi and it helps. I don't consider driving it like sport buggy, but it rides harsh on rocky terrain.

Agree and I would love to run 6lbs but almost everything I ride is rocky so I am afraid to drop below 10lbs .
I have a rzr 900 trail (50") but I drive my p5 most of the time just because I like it and I don't feel I should be wearing a fire suit when I do .

Well it's better to run on 6 psi on rocky to reduce puncture and improve comfort , crawling

I think it makes the sidewalls to soft and they invite a slice from sharp rocks BUT I will try it if you could send me a tire if I ruin one old buddy .

 

[solrus]

Hmm, my logic was opposite, I don't have too much experience with sxs and low pressure tires. Need to read up about it. I thought the more pressure , the more resistance and less ability to stretch and sharp objects just pierce at that spot , bit with low pressure it deforms and less prone to be cut. It's like hard to cut flexible rubber.

Same with climbing over rocks , hard inflated tires slip, but less inflated like "jellow" stick and has more contact surface and grip

I ride observed trials / moto trials . 3-4 psi in the rear and 7-9 in the front , makes for super traction but easier to get a sidewall slice .That being said , in 30 years of competition I only got 3 tires ruined from sidewall cuts so tomorrow I'm going 6psi all around . You talked me into it . lol Thanks (I hope)

I run 4-4.5 with my bias ply tires and so far have only had one side wall hole. Was not watching where I was going rubber necking for deer and pinched the sidewall against a huge rock and the rim. Wham, dead stop stall nearly went over the steering wheel.. Hahahaha slow leaked over night. Lesson learned watch what you're doing in tall grass.
