I removed the side safety nets on my Pioneer-4 yesterday. Has anyone else done this. They were always getting in the way, and we never latched them, so I just decided to take them off.

Anyone know if it's against the law to do this?

I don't think it is against the law. It's just a extra layer of safety Honda has imposed.
I been thinking of removing mine.
Seen some pics of a guy who removed his. Don't know where.. It did make it look better I think.

I took my front nets off but left the back ones on just incase I take my nephews. Not that I ever get crazy but you never know.

My dealer never installed them. I have them but doubt I will ever put them on.

Ya, I fairly sure they are required to install them. Or you good delivery of an "unsafe" Pioneer. And they don't want that.

Its the first thing I did to my Pioneer. They will not be used (by us) and are just a nuisance IMO. Keeps the lawyers at bay I suppose.

They would not work very nicely with my fabric doors or with so many things we do.

My dealer had to install them, but I told the techs that once it's on my trailer, they're coming off….small bolts holding them were hand tight. :)

Not mine. I tried to use a standard allen wrench, and almost stripped two. I ran up to Lowes and bought the socket type, and they worked much better.

5mm by the way.
