That's an interesting place for the state forest line @lipcurl, right through your garage..

I'm digging those lights.

Yep...very nice

Haha, got that off a downed tree where I used to hunt

Yeah we come across them once in a while out hunting too. I think my old man probably has one in his garage too.

Nothing fancy, cut off the box and splash guard, reducer to 1.5" then 90 up and you can see the rest. Tied it together with a 2" rubber coupling. Fitted it all up then painted the pipe and installed permanent. Wanted to use 2" but it wouldn't fit between plastic bed and roll cage.

Is noisier or same?

Can you get LED headlights ? If so, where would I find them ?

I replaced my bulbs with led's. Just plug and play. They throw about the same amount of light as the halogen's. Hard to tell with the snake eye covers on. Brighter white though to match the bar and pods.

Haven't ridden it yet

Apparently the Pioneer 1000 LED headlights will work but probably not cheap to do.

Multi - Honda Pioneer LED Hi/Low Retro-Fit for P500 and P700!

Just checked CheapCycleParts.com and looks to be about $200 for 1 light so $400 and whatever else may be needed

Thanks, I'm going to see about getting some.

I added my roof and windshield tonight.. still lots to do! Try and get my wheels changed tomorrow or Saturday. And then I'll add my snorkel and run my winch while I have the rack off. Any suggestions on the last two items?

Man, that is looking good! I guess we should have expected that thing to get decked out so quickly.

Snorkel will be easy. You need a 2" Fernco, couple feet of 2" or 1.5" pvc, and a few elbows.

For the winch, there are a few threads with some pics. I took a few when I did mine. It's really easy on the P500.

Thanks.. It's getting there. I've read about everything I could about these machines and the installs. So hopefully this last bit goes smoothly!

Hardest part of the snorkel is deciding where to have the stack end up and how then to fasten it based on that. Other than that is super simple. Especially if you pull the rack and start at the air box. Literally 4 bolts and the tail light wire and it's off, with fenders attached and all.

You noticed it being louder with the intake up?

It's a bit louder I guess.. Not in a bad way, the motor still drowns it out as soon as you start going. It just has a bit throatier noise at slow speed and idle. Mines probably a bit more noticeable being right next to my head, but like I said its not bad at all.

I noticed a substantial difference in adding the roof and windshield!
