Stopped by the local Honda only dealer today to check on getting break pads, they had 5 5's a 3 and a 6 in the showroom.
They are plentiful down here as well. Honda dealer near me is fairly well stocked.

Honda of Russellville, AR had many units when I was there about 10 days ago. They sell a lot of "Packaged Units", but they also had a floor full of various models. Lots of Talons and Pioneer 1000's of various flavors. Did not price any, since I am not a buyer.

They didn't have any others (5s 7s or talons).
I haven’t seen 520’s sitting available for weeks yet but I’ve seen the racked 500’s. 700’s in both 2 and 4 seats have been hit/miss. 1k5’s and Talons have been consistently available. Can’t say that I’ve noticed a 1k3 sitting.

Purchased a Talon R Live Valve recently. The dealer had 4 Talons and a Pioneer 700. Came back 2 weeks later and they had 1 Talon. Pretty good selection of Talons at one time. Not sure what sorts of inventory one would expect a dealer to have? Ford dealer up the road probably has over a hundred trucks in inventory. I'd say people probably purchase more trucks than side by sides?

Sorry, all I'm doing is bolting s*** up that I purchased on the inner web. Maybe I could cut it in half and then build it back? I would much rather start a thread about the good, bad and ugly of Backwood's driveway. Better yet, let's have an overland weekend at your driveway? We could have timed races, hunt big game and see who gets from point A to point B with little to no mud on their rig?

You don't need to mine the ore to produce the steel used to build a car nor fell the tree and mill the wood used to build a house. Unfortunately, some people don't have a very deep grasp of the English language. Those folks often end up with taxpayer-funded jobs, like politicians and such.

P.S. - There is a reason @Hondasxs put the word "Builds" in the name of the various sub-forums.
