Installed graphics from creative utv, turned out nice. I asked for the front Honda letters even though they aren't really offered, they fit right but were a tedious pita to put on. The front letters are inset and that makes it difficult to apply a decal on, I knew it was going to suck going in but I wanted them anyway. Ended up with a small wrinkle in almost all of them but I'm happy with them. Side ones were easy breezy and they threw in the one I put on the back of the roof. Thanks @jrplaza2008 .
Also installed the RotoPax water can and moved the gas can. It looks like they stick out from the sides in the pic but they don't, slightly in so nothing will catch. Painted the caps so as not to confuse which is which. Every side got a little love today. Windshield's been on a couple weeks.

I played around a little with my old 250ex.. aka checked the valves, I put a cheap heated seat in the P500, and played around a bit with the underglow.

Thanks roc! Anywhere I can sneak some green in you know. Their color match is pretty spot on, wish my paint was that close. Yeah I finally caved, could have gone without it and just bundled up more but it is more comfortable this way. I only plan to use it during the cold months.

By the way, just went for a ride after the oil and filter change. Immediate and dramatic improvement in shifting!!!! Wow! It's quieter, smoother, and it even seems like it shift faster! Very pleased with the amsoil atv oil! :)
I have a Honda recon.ES...that needed an oil change recently. I bought Kolpin 10w40 semi synthetic. 1st thing I noticed was quite/slicker shifting. I have not yet put it in my p500, it still has fresh GN4 in it.

Use this little buggy most every day. Sometimes wonder how I ever got by without it.

For some reason I can’t PM you. Just wanted to ask where you got that sweet Sony camera mount for the front bumper. Thx.

Bought it on Amazon. It was made for a Sony Action Cam but appears to me to have the same 1/4” threads as most other cameras. I bought it a few years back for use on my motorbike but it fits the P500 even better.

Looked at your link. Yep, that’s the one. And for $6.49 it’s a hell of a bargain. I’m pretty sure it would work with most any action camera as long as they have the standard threaded insert. I think it’s priced so cheap because it’s probably been discontinued. It is a sturdy mount. I had it mounted on my Harley all the way from here in southern Ohio to Alaska and back.

Ordered a small sheet of the green graphic vinyl from creative utv last night. Have an idea that isn't something pre-cut so I'll have to cut and fit them myself. Walt didn't even charge me for the material, just the shipping. Super cool dude. I'll post some pics if it turns out like I want it to. Then I'll be done for sure.

Installed volt meter and a horn. Grandson loves to push the button lol
Been thinking that I need a horn on my buggy but haven’t been able to decide which one to buy. Would like to have a “Dixie” air horn but not sure I want to go through al the trouble of mounting 5 trumpets and a compressor.
