Over the weekend, I found a 2015 Honda Pioneer 500 and added it to the family and after the purchase, I changed every fluid in the unit (front/rear differential, installed battery tender, engine oil, air filter, spark plug, detailed the machine, lubricated moving parts and used all OEM Honda parts/materials). Yesterday, I was visiting the dealer and noticed a pull off front bumper from a Honda Pioneer 700, looked it over and thought, I can make that work, so the picture to the right is before and how a Honda Pioneer comes and the picture on the left is now my Pioneer 500 with a Honda Pioneer 700 front bumper mounted and fits great with modest modifications.

I am traveling this week and thinking of a bed for the Pioneer 500. I am not opposed to having something fabricated, but got my eye on something like this, one option and second option, so I'm open to ideas/suggestions.

Lastly, I will deal with the tires and winch once the rest is addressed. I have owned plenty of side by sides, but really like this one given the size and works perfect on a few areas on my property....

I have also seen where they put a side box from a pickup up against the cage overhanging the rear basket.. seemed like a good idea to have dry lockable storage & still have plenty of usable rack space...

And I don't know why they don't sell that Honda bed here in the US... seems like it would be a much better option than that cheap tray that they currently offer. I saw some guys on the Pioneer 500 facebook page talking about trying to get a group buy together to get a load of them shipped in from New Zealand...
