Rough Country they are $$ but there is a difference.


Let me know - the only reason I even thought of it is I had a different set of the Amazon specials that would not fit do to how the base sat back into the Windshield. It would be worth it to do some sort of bracket for those lights there

Just buy them! We can over come a small clearance issue. Special bracket or re-drill the light bracket.

It will be close though....

Gosh we need to get together and you convince me to do some maintenance. I’m such a lazy owner. Hence the Honda... makes me embarrassed. I know my bushings in my arms are shot! Joe was supposed to order me some months ago and said he had to call them because they didn’t sell the bushing separate or something. Where did you get yours?

I ordered them from Super ATV on Monday and they arrived Wed or Thursday.

Honda Pioneer 1000 Front A Arm Bushing Kit
Or amazon prime
https://www.amazon.com/SuperATV-Honda-Pioneer-Heavy-Bushing/dp/B074ZX5YM4/?tag=sxsweb24-20

I only switched the one side on the front. I was mainly pulling apart to check the bolt holes and noticed the wear on the spacers - which prompted me to order a set to compare

Damn you guys! Now im gonna have to upgrade lights..those RC light make mine look like coal oil lamps hangin out there.

Yours looked pretty bright in the picture. - you do have all new nice wiring ..

The other thing about the light coming off the cubes is it is a cleaner / fuller light - I can tell the reflectors are designed/ made better than my amazon specials

You could probably make them work - I have a set that are suppose to sandwich in between and are made for cubes - bolt pattern is a little off / May have to take a grinder to it.

Perfect. Ordered front and rear. Hopefully I can grease these and they will last longer.

Are you going on the night ride this weekend. Trying to decide when I want to switch back to the regular top and windshield. I’ll probably put the tops on the doors at the same time so I don’t have to fool with it anymore before deer season. Now season opens this weekend so I’m going to lose all my extra time soon. Buying some of @Delton doors for next spring. Not taking those stupid upper doors off anymore. Just remove the whole thing.

Yes, I am planning on it I was going to give you a ring tomorrow to see when you were headed down. I am still going to run the net roof and windshield for a bit.

Well just went outside and took some pics - not a huge area to light up but with the front cubes on I don’t really need to run the headlights lol

Both the front cubes and the rear cubes
B8AFF6B2 A9D2 483F B4AE 677DE64C8408
Just the fronts
A96B5C29 9F8B 4183 A4A1 0D47FA50A9BA
Looking out the front - through a net windshield that does darken a little

Just the front cubes
FBEF323E 7D89 446E 9404 BBBB0D064C7C

Front cubes and headlights (I have the Led headlights)
D4CB2373 A9D4 4B7B 8227 CDD36D3E735D

Looking off to the left to give you view of the rear cube light (you can see the left ROPs bar there
F431FE24 E818 429D 8660 88E4A53F9C3B

Granted probably getting a little light bounce off the road but so far I am liking with I see. Bigger test will be this weekend at a nightride !

Well I got to ride with the new lights last night at Buckhorn. I am impressed. Just the front cubes on make the Deluxe Led headlights seem lacking in power as they light up the edges. Add the rear seatbelt mounted lights and there is nothing hiding from you on the side.

Despite this new found ability to see or maybe it was that I thought I was in the daytime I some how managed to hit something that knocked my Brake line loose. I never lost 100% of the brakes but did get to 10% before I was able to get to the bottom of the hill and check it out. I was running @jak9922 SS brake lines and I am willing to bet that if I ahd been running the stock ones it would not have been a simple tighten back up to go situation.

Buckhorn is a great place to ride but I swear I have broke something every time I have been out there. This trip was no exception as I also busted a inner boot on the rear drivers side and the top foot of one of my whips stopped working. Fun times !

I got a little video too that I will be posting tonight or tomorrow. I cat remember how much I actually recorded and despite the few needed repairs it was a great time riding with @nbomar
