Winched up another ladder stand. My P5 with wireless remote control winch makes it a one man job.

After being unaware of a bad voltage regulator that fried a battery, installed a voltmeter with USB ports. It was accurate with my hand held voltage meter.

Congrats @ToddH , which color? A low setting heat gun (or hair dryer) is mentioned in the instructions. Be careful, a little heat goes a long way. Did mine without removing the frame body around light, just pulled it out slightly and used small screwdriver to press the rounded edges in. Have some rubbing alcohol on hand to clean the glass.

Thanks for the advice @Mudder. I ordered the same green eyes you did. :D

I got a pair of front Elka stage 3 shocks the other day and put them on for a run yesterday. Did a 100 mile run and did not bottom out once. In my opinion this has made my machine more of a pleasure to ride on. Just not having to shift down and up, drive around or brake for every bump makes it that much easier on my machine. I can't wait to get the rear ones. That will have to wait. I don't understand why Honda doesn't offer something like this on there new P5's. I think it would put the machine in a whole new category.
Yeah, the stock suspension on the P5 is pretty rigid. Mine was rough and if I would have kept it I would have definitely upgraded the shocks.

Installed the Dusty Dawgs rack and took the P5 into the Tobacco Roots Mountains scouting for elk.

The upper rack coincidentally is the exact size and shape as my 2-compound bow padded case. It’s light weight to be up high, protected and hopefully will not get covered in kicked-up road dirt like when it was strapped behind the seats last year.

That’s pretty nice! Was it expensive or fairly reasonable?

That is a good looking sxs. A friend of mine had his sxs sprayed with a line x type/ looking black and I loved it. I like yours much better. He says his a pain to clean due to the textured finish. You would think he would have known as he had his Dodge pickup sprayed with the same thing a few years back. It looks great.
