When, Where, And does anybody have pics and ideas other than the metal fabricator, that's dangerous! Maybe a roto molded product? rubber belting?
That should have been something Honda certainly should have noticed in trials even with factory wheels and tires. I have 27/9 and 27/10 Swamp lites
with 12" HD black spoke wheels. Its really bad now!!! But the Ride is far more superior!!!

I believe a few guys bought these or at least looked at them. If someone is not making Pioneer specific by April, i am going to buy these.

I was on the Kolpin website and noticed they had a close out on some fender flares for a kawasaki Teryx for $81. It looked like they could be adapted to the pioneer.

Thanks for the input ! You guys know its style as well as functionality, You buy a machine like this you don't install junk components!!!!! Here is a pic of what I have so far!

Looks good. Too bad you had to drill through the fender though. Is there also a "bottom" to the fender in underneath, or just what's under there? I don't have my machine yet. And what exactly did you use?

Fender flare looks pretty darn good. I looked at that material a couple of months ago and wasn't sure it would attach well. I think now that you have done it and posted pics of the look more will interested in giving it a try too.

What does it look like underneath in the wheel well. Is it solid under there like a truck above the tire, or is it hollow like a quad?

 

[scubasteve]

Hollow! zip screws from the a/c trade work well. I backed the horizontal on the fender with 1/8 alum angle it does a good job, the vertical secures well into the plastic. then painted everything underneath black for a clean look. I still need to hang a mud flap on the bottom area to keep the brunt of mud off the door and your side. A work in progress. This is what happens when your the first to own a new model , you become a beta tester!!!!! Next is to come up with something for the dump bed

 

[scubasteve]

Don't be scared!!!!

 

[Thunderstix]

Hahaha, I won't! Thanks for that info. Makes perfect sense why you did what you did now that you mention hollow and angle iron. Good job!!

 

[Thunderstix]

Oops sorry, last question is, are those flaps 2.5"?

 

[scubasteve]

yes

 

[Thunderstix]

Thank you sir!

scubasteve,

Hows it going on flares for the bed. My biggest complaint on the 4 is the mud throwing with the aftermarket tires. I'm going to do the front just like yours. Does it keep a lot of the water and mud off you?

 

[hoops]

+2

how well does it work from keeping liquid and debree from flying?

 

[LouisianaMarine]

There's a lizard on your spring

 

[scubasteve]

Thats a small one! You should see those 12 footers!!

 

[LouisianaMarine]

HAHAHA. Yeah I see them from time to time here. I need to bag me one some day.

I think I'll have to get some of that material and put it in with the other parts I have waiting on the Pioneer. I think I might try the 4" though.

You Might Try This

I'm new to this forum, but after my first couple of rides in my 2P, I was in search of something to keep mud out of the cab. I rode a '91 TRX-300FW for 23 years. It had such great fenders I rarely got crapped on from below. This Pioneer slings it everywhere. Couldn't find anything available from Honda and no after-market made for it. So, I spent $79 on a universal pickup bed mat (4' x 8') and cut it with a razor knife and straight edge. I rounded the edges with some heavy scissors. I found that the tires at the farthest point on the body were 2" outside the body and that a 6 1/2" wide piece would catch that 2" and reach to the inside edge of the panel behind the front tires and underside of the dump bed in the rear. I used 1" hex-head stainless screws with coarse thread and rubber grommet. For the rear (since it was fighting gravity along its full length) I added fender washers. The mat itself is about 1/4" thick.
Not telling anyone to do this, but I did not get a single mud glob in my cab last weekend--a 25 mile ride across the Cumberland Plateau boonies. Here are some pics.
