INSTALLING 814 AFTERMARKET SHOCKS ON A HONDA PIONEER 1000-5 | HUGE RIDE IMPROVEMENT | SXS | UTV 

Thank you! The later part of the video was a bit rushed because I had to travel from Michigan to Maryland for work and I was running out of time.

I haven’t taken it out yet. The weather has been terrible. I have the sway bars hooked up currently but I am going to test them unhooked. I know right now the way it is it’s a big improvement. It lifts the machine up a bit so you gain clearance, the limit straps save your cvs and shocks, you get adjustability, it’s a weight reduction, and they look cool. I think they are worth the money and we would definitely buy them again. When we took it across the corn field it really soaked up the bumps, it wasn’t harsh at all. I think it’s gonna work really well when the trails are all washboard from the longer travel machines. I’ve never read a bad review about 814 shocks so that’s a good sign. I would say if you are planning on keeping the pioneer the shocks are a great investment but if you’re on the fence about switching to a sport machine, the pioneer is still a utility sxs with only so much travel and it’s not going to ride like an x3, KRX or similar machine so it may be worth the switch.

@@FilthyKnobsOffRoad Thank you for the response. I have seen some good things also about them which is why i was considering them. Time to decide if i’m keeping it or trading up.

Are these compatible with pioneer 520?

@@crfamily6946 It looks like they are on their website. 814 suspension. Both trail series and 3 way adjustable.

I’d love to test some parts for you but there is no way my dad will want me to take his full enclosure off. He’s done a lot of sealing and wire routing and I really don’t want to mess it up for him. We also have the YXZs and RZR that don’t have full enclosures.

@@FilthyKnobsOffRoad OK, thanks for your reply.
