Anyone see a parts fische/pic yet on 2017 700's with power steering? My gut says it will fit the older ones but of course want to lay the parts pics side by side to see first.

Why not just get the aftermarket power steering? There are many people that have it and I have not heard of anyone having a failure yet.

I could see doing the retrofit if the Honda parts were a lot better or cheaper but We don't know the answer to question yet.

Nothing against it, but every now and then the OEM stuff is cheaper and maybe a tad better, who knows. Worth looking at first.

It probably is a little better but it'll be a lot more after everything is bought. It's probably tied into the wiring harness as well. The aftermarket unit we had was seamless and very easy install.

In this case, the aftermarket has Honda beat in price. The P1K steering motor alone is $830, the control unit (computer) is $500 and the wiring harness is $630. Your already at $2K and that doesn't include the dash with the PS light or the steering shaft to replace the non-eps one. So it's not cheap or easy.
