So first off I would like to say thanks to everyone that shared kind words on my 'For Sale ad' for my P1K5. It was an amazing machine and I wish I could have both.
Anyway, 3 months ago I purchased my R4 and I haven't looked back.

Here she is fresh off the trailer after an almost easy 3 hour drive home.

Like I said... almost easy trip home.

First up I wanted a little taller tire....

So I threw on some 31" Terrabites.

Here it is with the new rubber installed along with a few extras like my side mirrors, rearview mirror and a cooler I strapped onto the back for some added cargo.

Soon after, I ordered an Amazon special fold down windshield that was recommended to me by a friend and so far it has absolutely been awesome. My P1K5 windshield was poly and I told myself my next one would be glass. So far I am glad I made the switch. I do not have any pics of the windshield being installed, unfortunately. Next, I spent several days wiring up some lights. I added 4 cube lights. 2 of them are spot and 2 of them are flood. Due to the fold down windshield taking up so much real estate, it was a tough choice on what kind of lights and where I would put them. I also removed the front 12v socket and added a USB/voltmeter. The voltmeter is for the isolated/dual battery that I installed under the drivers seat. Then added a couple interior lights, a back flood light, homemade turn signal kit, horn, 4-point harnesses, 2 cage mounted saddle bags above the front seats and a couple extra soda holders!

So far my future add-ons will be...

-pre-filter

-beadlocks
..one day I will convert all my switches to an Auxbeam panel.

To the lucky person that bought my P1K5.... I salute you! 🫡

I debated on the extra sticker removal… seems you removed some but not others… that side shot looks sweet

Thank you. Yeah I'm not sure if it looks better or worse but it looks different, and I was okay with that. Also, I wasn't super crazy about having huge HONDA on the side like I'm racing for the factory team lol. I was just going for something different. It's only stickers.

Yea.. I may end up doing something different as well… to extend my hood upgrade… trying to balance cool vs over doing it…. But I like what you did… 👏👏👏
