Kinda crazy right now with caring for my Mom but you are welcome any time.

How's Mom? Let me know when things ease up.

Would have been over the doors when we were there. Getting wiser the closer I come to the end of my mid life criss! HA!

I let the Polaris guys go first. lol...

Still have to care for her every need 24/7. She can't eat anything solid so it's a bit of a challenge. She's pretty heavily medicated because of the pain so sleeping quite a bit. Thankful for a wife that is a true angel. I'd be in serious trouble without her every day not just in this deal.

Wife, Angles are a true blessing! Your Mom break her hip? I can't remember?

She face planted on ceramic tile. Didn't break anything but is battered. Her poor face looks like she's been 12 rounds with Mike Tyson. Can only eat thru a straw. Someone has to be with her 24/7 and frankly, there is no one but Cheryl and I to do it so we are rotating days and nights between us.

They do all kinds of custom nets but only in black. I bought the blue mesh and webbing and sent it to them along with all the factory Honda hardware. They were awesome to work with.

Custom Window Nets

Just about any size or shape in mesh or a 1" webbing. You create the pattern and we can get them made.

Little preview of the finished look just for the hondasxs.com crowd. Cheating slightly as there is only 1 nerf on it right now. Dang things are a major pain for 1 person especially since I am determined to retain the MudBuster flaps.

That thing looks so good, almost going to be a shame to get dirt on it. Love the old school Odyssey /HRC livery. You do great work.

Thank you! It's been a lot bigger deal that I planned on but am very happy with how it's turning out and happy that I'm very near the finish line.

and happy that I'm very near the finish line.

I've told myself that same lie many, many times.

Oh trust me, I get it. lol... I'm ready for the current list to be complete so I can go back to riding. I have another list forming already but on a little smaller scale than this list has been.

Very nice looking machine's it's amazing what honda came from to what we have today

I can't believe it took Honda this long to follow up on the original Pilot but I'm glad they finally 'reappeared', just in time for my retirement from dirt bikes. Although new to SxSs, I'm 'ok' with mechanical savvy - the Talon shined today on it's second outing. 😎 After 25 years of snowmobiling, I don't care if I NEVER own another CVT/belt driven machine. They nailed the dual range, 6 speed DCT and its programing IMO.

You've made a spectacular improvement with your color scheme and decaling - 10/10. 👍

Thanks CID! And I agree, the Talon is quite a machine. Honda should have ventured into the sport SXS game way before they did.

Little detail on the MudBuster mod. Was quite the wrestling match to get the bolts in this bracket but the MudBusters do such a great job of keeping the worst of the mud out I did not want to remove them. I tapped on the back of the flap with a dead blow hammer to imprint the shape of the bracket so I had it located properly. Measured the nerf bar bracket and transferred those measurements to the flaps. Removed the bulk of the material with my Dremel with a up-cut spiral bit and finished it off with a file. I removed the upper side panel under the door for better access to the problem bolts. Also helped that a friend stopped by. lol...
