P1000 White Lightning Build

snuffnwhisky submitted a new Garage Item:

White Lightning Build

Bought her 2 weeks ago. Had a full page s*** list the first night. Didn't really know about Honda having a sxs or much about sxs's until I talked to my brother about getting one. He works at the local Honda shop... lucky me! Started reading this forum after talking to him and out of the blue a guy at work wanted a four-wheeler and I had one... so it begins!

If you can just cool it to @CumminsPusher level that would be big jump but a good start.

It’s not my fault that these parts can’t hang with me. This is the exact reason I quit driving Chevrolet trucks back in the 90s because I got tired of crap breaking all the time

don't change the subject we as moderators have to keep the thread on track.

I guess my response should have been, I’m trying to build mine more robust and eliminate all the weak spots because I know the driver who will be driving it after beer-30

Got laser cut parts to redo my a arms and mounting tabs. Lots of welding ahead haha.

Those mounts look great, and are exactly what I had in mind to replace the weak stock upper mounts. Do you have any pics of the stock mounts being removed and the new mounts attached to the frame? What type of jigs did you fabricate to maintain the correct alignment?

I think Joey has pic's. Basically locate 1 stock hole and match that to these. We're are running heim joints so it's not that critical as we can adjust. I did add the 2nd notch so a SATV arm could be used and cut the tube to have 2 bolts instead of the 1.
