The price on these guards are crazy. Thinking about fabricating my own. Any one else have luck making them. Did you do alum or plastic?

My goal is to have them made by spring time as I don’t really need them for ice fishing.

Do P5 owners run sway arms? Mine is laying under my work bench along with the stock shocks?

I believe the OP really means A-arm guards not sway bars. But I run A-arm guards on my P500 in hopes of deflecting errant sticks from poking into CV boots and the A-arms themselves from hitting rocks. Especially where I ride.

There are many who have replaced both stock A-arms and shocks, so what you said earlier was entirely possible.

I made my own with aluminum angle, UHMW sheeting 3mm thick, large head pop rivets and some U bolts. Have pix in my link I think should be in P5 mods. Stick stoppers will not protect 100% but will aid for sure. When running in mud or snow you should clean out around the lower boot area as debris will build up there.

Pretty easy project UHMW is great to work with and standard wood working tools will work well to cut, drill.
