Ok that's good to know. I'm not doing much rock crawling but mostly woods riding around home, so this is a down south/swamp &sand setup as you said. It is a sweet looking machine btw! I am continually amazed at how big a tires I hear about people running on these machines. I feel mine has adequate power but nowhere near enough to spare to run say 33's or even 30's. It just seems like it would always be lugging and changing gears unless you had a gear reduction
They pull 30s just fine offroad. At least around here they do. I climbed a 53 degree grade of dead leaves/mud with no problem. Til i hit bunch of wet roots that is lol. Then it was winch time.

Plan on coming. Bring wife n kids. Alot of kids will be there. We got a "no kids" trip planned to hells canyon (google it) at tackett creek. Its little on wild side but nothing too stupid. Dragons back is awesome too. And the widowmaker. Widowmaker was rough going down so cant wait to try it going up lol.
Been watching vids all evening on hells canyon, tackett creek and windrock looks awesome, my kinda riding right there! I'm pumped up about it ready to go now!

At this point, I think it'd have to be the Concours Specialties switch panel.

Im thinking of buying this windshield for mine. I have the factory Honda roof. How is the gap between the top of the windshield, and the roof. Does it keep the wind/rain from coming in?
Some wind gets thru but I havent noticed rain, but I dont drive on roads or very fast. Some have used pool noodles or pipe insulation to seal it up better.

I take my Suzuki 70 on long remote solo rides. Anything can break and you can always knock a wheel off especially at high speed. It would suck to climb up a 1000 foot hill and find out you still don't have cell phone coverage. My Polaris and Yamaha side by sides broke a lot.

That would definitely suck! And that doesnt say much about the Yamaha and popo. So are you die hard honda for life now with that many miles and still holding up so good?

Helluva good deal! We will see how they do in 19-39 days (estimated shipping time) when they finally get here, it's one of them things that takes so long I will have forgotten I ever ordered it.
Just put those push buttons on, and they are great. Thanks for the info on the website.

I added a PDM, aux battery, winch, dome lights, front cubes & light bar, rear bed/back up light, bilge blower, & plow, etc. It's all been great,
but the sweetest mod was by far the simplest. I cut this guide off of the shift gate. It makes it so much easier to shift, especially when plowing snow. If you do lots shifting, this is the bomb.

I already couldn't say enough good things about my pioneer, but here's one more reason! To love this thing. Its is an absolute beast when pushing snow! I will try to add a video I took of pushing 18" of snow with no problem at all!
The 108 octane additive to the fuel that increased hp and speed by 20%. :D

This is a good idea, I noticed something needed doing when I was out pushing also, just hadn't thought anymore about it. I see why everyone loves this site R&D
RIP off & duplicate! Someone else can cut up there machine and let you know how not to do it lol good idea! Thanks

@Damien I was good with my 4 per side til I saw your 6 and I think it looks much cleaner and neater. Are all 6 easy to push and come on /off? I used vice grips to screw the stud in and roughed up the ball part, wondering if that messed me up. I sanded them a little and put grease in the latch but still have to use two hands one to push n pull the panel and the other to press the latch pretty hard not satisfied with it that way

Very

Very Nice this looks nice and clean, and I like the dark blue! How much stud do you have sticking out? Mine came in Monday, I finished it up today, well one side but they aren't very smooth acting
Maybe 3/8 inch. I agree they aren't very smooth, but the curve of the panel and the terrible fit that Honda did on these panels doesn't help. I think it's going to take a little adjusting to get them to operate smoothly, but I do think they are great.
