P500 New P500 Owner from Western PA

[Ironclad]

After initially searching for a P520, I found a low miles used P500 + several mods (including KFI snow plow) that I simply couldn't pass up. I have a sub-compact tractor for utility use around my property, but I really needed something better for snow removal and transporting random things around. This is my first SxS, hoping for the standard Honda durability!

Also, I make occasional trail riding trips to Hatfield-Mccoy. I don't expect this to be a plush ride in anyway, just want it to be able to hold up strong and not completely break down. All my previous HM trips were on a solid rear axle ATV and I borrowed a Polaris Ace 570 for the last one.

I don't want to go crazy on mods, but I can also see this as a 10-20 year investment. Looks like there is a ton of great info here and I plan to get involved. I attached a few pictures of my machine (minus the plow).

Welcome from Southern Ky!

First mod I recommend, if it hasn’t been completed already, TorQ Locker. If you are riding HMT you will want that. 🙂

Absolutely a must-have for trail riding a P5.

Welcome from central NC. The best mods I have done are shocks and tires. It rides better and handles better, which equates to me riding more!

Welcome from Alabama.
In addition to the above suggested mods, EPS is very nice when going slow and the torq-locker is doing its thing.

Welcome from Central Florida. Congratulations on your new machine

I appreciate the warm welcome! I certainly have TorQ locker mod on the list. I may get a HMT trip or two in to see how machine works as is. I try to avoid the deep ruts and mud holes, but sometimes there is no other way around!
