Radiator Protection

[Riverrat435]

Just purchased and took delivery of my Pioneer 500 yesterday. I was wondering has any body did anything to protect the radiator? I am going to do something with expanded metal. I do not want sticks in the radiator. I also want to protect the brake lines in the wheel well area. If you have any other ideas let me know. I also own a king quad 750.

Welcome to the community River. Glad you picked up a P500. I got to get my hands on one and see how it rides.
as for the radiator cover... I looked about this on the 700 also, but never got around to making one. I do see how it is exposed on the P500. I would not expect it to be too hard to build a shield.

I have put expanded metal in front of my radiator and on both sides of the lower area protecting the master cylinder area.

Do you have any pictures that you could share with us Boomer ?

Take a look at the strongman bumper with a winch mounted. Helps protect the rad a decent amount.

X2 provides good coverage:

Seems Honda should have offered something like this - have a feeling it would have been a good seller at the time the machine is purchased. I really have to give Strongmade a thumbs up on their bumper - great design/look and well made!

I added a piece of feed bunk liner with zip ties to the right side to protect the exposed driveshaft boot.
