Front only will do most of the trick.

I have been looking at "shock relocation brackets" and came across these ,if I can find the correct size , I think I will just weld them in the new location and leave the stock mounts intact. The only problem I can see is ,the stock bracket could interfere with the shock !

 

[solrus]

Or look for used on rhino forums

I think if someone is happy with current 2015-16 shocks, then don't change, if not then budget upgrade will be new 2017 Honda shocks if u ride a lot and planning on keeping p500 until it dies then get aftermarket shocks and do mods , as for now this is only option. Plus budget question.
I'm glad Canadians got free update on shocks.

One more thing to improve ride will be getting suspension seats like Jackal did.

Ranking shock upgrades by escalating price

1- new 2017 shocks front only, I don't see the point in getting rear shocks.

2 - 2017 front s. + New seats

3- WE shocks front

And so on.

Thinking out loud , most of us are not ready to weld and mod our pioneers , but still most of us want better ride , and it should be bolt on, no welding, so get new 2017 shocks . Hopefully in a year or two we will see aftermarket shocks

I dont think there is enough space to weld additional bracket.
