That looks great! Was it very hard? How much did it cost?

It’s pretty simple and easy. The trick is to be patient when working with the vinyl and only use hot hair dryer a little on major curve areas. Mossy Oak Graphics sells as much or as little camo vinyl as you need. The amount for P500 hood and fenders is probably around a hundred dollars give or take. My camo was left over from doing my truck. The vinyl is tough and you can put on and off while installing. There is a lot of instruction videos on Mossy Oak Graphics website.

Gave her a deep pressure washing, then removed the box and bottom board. Shortly I’m going to attempt to build the Snorkel and then build a different rear box with a lower center of gravity. I got the rims I ordered from RMATV today. I’ll take the tires off and switch them out tomorrow. There was dust and pine needles from 7+ states. I need to find an agent to clean and keep clean the rear panel/ window. The drivers side fabric on the rear panel got a nice tear from my last flipsy flopsy episode...

Rear window....
I've been using safety glasses cleaner with great results!

I use brand new Amazon microfibers to clean.
Heavily spray the cleaner, until it is dripping.
Fold your towel make a pass,
fold to new/clean area, make another pass.
When towel is dirty, grab another and continue.

Did those valves. A little loose. This is the 2nd time I've done them...but for some reason I don't remember it being such a b****!

On another note, I've been having the Honda tick for some time. Maybe from the start of my ownership...but I've just kind of ignored it. I really think its the decompression device on the cam...

I looked for a rear picture but this one you can see through the back. I’ve had my rear window since 15’ still clear.

Have ever had it outside? Looks suspiciously clean to me. But I guess you have a lot of down time in the winter to polish it up.
LOL

Lol. Your right on the down time. I clean it when I get home from the camp. When my daughter is driving, she heads for the deepest mud she can find, hence the Blackwaters. You can’t have those tires and not get mud on it. Haha. There is still mud in places, not much. Haha. I also use SC1. From Honda dealer. She cleaned up nice. She’s got to look pretty, at least on the way, to the camp. Haha. I’m glad someone noticed. Lol.

Yea, I have a can of that ready to go once it warms up enough to give it a good bath. Brought it home from camp and just parked it in the shop. Doesnt stay cold long enough to justify a heater in the shop.

My wood stove in my garage has been going since November. Not over night. But from about 8am to 11:30 pm. She stays warm. Haha

I know a few Bishops in Halifax. Willie, Bozo. Any relationship.
Caper
There are literally hundreds of people with the last name Bishop in this part of the province and most are related somehow. Here is a site that sells gps maps but has a great free trail map on the page. ATV Nova Scotia map for Garmin GPS including routable official ATVANS trails of Nova Scotia and points of interest at 1:50,000 | TrakMaps Pic of my home made roof and last summer down by Annapolis Royal on the river.

Picked up all the PVC angles and connectors to build my snorkel. Didn’t have a chance to assemble it toady. Will attempt to make something tomorrow. I also went out and looked at 48” truck bed tool boxes. Probably gonna just build a simple open bed behind that.

Well, riding at places like the Takeover there were a few stream crossings that made me nervous due to the depth and because of the heavy amounts of dust known for Idaho trail riding.
