I just ordered plugs for the back tubing by the hitch and the 4 pieces in and under the bed. I am surprised that Honda didn't spend the 40 cents to plug the tubing! I will send pics once I get them.

where did you get all of them from I seen a couple for 2 frame tubes but nothing else so far

You can get these plugs on Ebay for little money. Just search Honda Pioneer and scroll through.

I ordered them from Mc master Carr company but you must be a business to order through them. It was about 16 bucks but you get about 10 extra plugs. They come in packs so I ended up with extra.

www.hondasxs.com is the guy that has them. That's where I seen them first..

Would someone mind going ahead and posting a link to order them?

Thanks.

Capping them for a finished look is fine, but remember, if you have rust or moisture in there already, you are going to make the issue worse. Just tossing that out there.

true I was planning on washing mine out next time im home and using a blow dryer to get the moisture out and spray some rust preventive stuff in before I do mine

Yep. Personally, I like to use chain lube. It goes on thick, and doesn't shed easily. Wrap a rag in wire. Coat it with it. Push it up the tubes with some dowel, then use the wire to drag it back out. Then use the can and spray it in the end nice and heavy, or repeat the process till your happy.

I think I have some of that left over from my bike when it was running

I wonder how filling the tube with expanding urethane foam "Great Stuff" before putting on the caps would work? Anyone see any negatives of this?

You can use the aerosol undercoating with the extra long straw the one with the holes in the sides of the straw. That would put a permanent coat inside But don't seal it to good you don't want it to hold water. I would just coat the inside I don't think I would put the plugs in so the water and junk could get out.

they make a trailer spray coating im going to spray in mine, then rtv the plugs in. that way you can remove the plugs every year and re-apply.

I purchased the main frame plugs and the plugs for under the bed off Ebay for about $24. I RTV'd them in and removed the ones Honda installed and RTV'd them too. I didn't spray or put anything in the tubes before installing the plugs. I'm not equipped to spray that long of a distance/deep so thought anything other than oil would/could just hold junk. I never sprayed oil for fear it would not allow my RTV to set up. Having said all this my bike had not been ridden other than blacktop before I installed the plugs.

Fluid film in the holes.

Plugs will just hold in the water. It will get in whether you like it or not.

I agree. When I first brought my P2 home, I took a can of black gloss Krylon and prayed up into the rear frame hole. It is not going to stop rust from happening but it will slow it down.

You also have to remember that the front and rear diff vent tubes are connected to the frame. If you make the frame completely air tight, the vent lines will not work properly.

Plugs

I put the plugs on every ride so mud doesn't get in the holes. Then I pull them out when washing (after mud is washed off) Then blow dry to get dry. I put the plugs on the seat so I remember to put them in before loading. Just my 2 cents.

I took the nozzle & straw off a penetrating oil spray can & put it on a rustolium paint can & sprayed black paint inside all my open frame tubes, worked good
