Alot of weight...up that high..
makes a stock P5...scary. ...tippy
tried it...with camping gear..on some
squirrely steep canyon rutted roads...
ended up..un loading half...stashed in
the bushes...went back...

Did you fab it out of lead...LOL?

Old school ATV is cool...unless you've spent most of your life strapping every single thing down to a hard steel rack and then been given relief from that with a nice, deep cargo bed. 90% of these things end up with a some sort of bed. There are some very cool and creative set-ups on here, most of which could have been done with a bed had the owner chosen to do so. You and some others see it is more versatile...i see it as a decision made by someone at Honda who had never owned or spent time around a SxS.

It's one of those areas where we just disagree (cue Dave Mason)...so we'll compromise and say that Honda at least needs to offer a better option than the serving tray/cargo tray they currently offer. One like the NZ guys have. The tall Strongmade unit is very nice...but the price...

@trigger, ever think about having a skin mounted/pinned (whatever they call that) on the hood? Wonder if somebody makes a snakeskin wrap?

Hmmm, now that I think about...I knew that. I guess we'll save the snakeskin for boots.

What size spacers are you running and do you have them front and back?

I am thinking of moving my 1.00" rear spacers to the front and buying 1 1/2" for the rear!

I also got 2" on all corners
....my Training wheels...

 

[SXSHP500CO]

Looks great. It's a lot more stable than just stock. Plus the bigger tires give it a smoother ride!

I got 1 1/2 on back weels only and stability is so much better. I'm thinking of maybe adding 1' on front weels.
