Best video yet. I own a 500 and I’m putting a winch ,light bar 32”, 2-4” lights for the back and a stereo. So I’ll be using all the leads on the sub harness Lol. That video helped so thanks!
It is from a family owned company called USA Windshields. Here is a link to their web site. usawindshields.com They are well built and made from quality glass.
So just to be sure, if I use the sub harness on my Honda pioneer 520 which will supply the power, what do I need to do with the pos and neg lead cables that were meant to go to the battery? Should they be wrapped and capped off for possible future use or just cut and capped to prevent a possible short. Or are these the ends that I will cut and put the quick connect on leading to the sub harness that will now supply the power?
Have you added anything else to the harness since this video? Could you connect a winch to this harness Without having to go all the way to battery? Thanks.
That is correct. The harness hooks into an auxiliary power supply to allow you to pull power without having to run wires to the battery. And to be clear, this auxiliary power is controlled by the key switch, so power is only available when the key is on.
Very helpful video. However, I have two questions. #1 on the Honda OEM sub harness, which lead is Positive ? #2 what size fastener did you use to mount the relay? Thanks!
Oh, good question on the positive lead. I don't remember now that it's been a while since I put it on. However, I do believe that there was one wire that was a common color among all of the four separate branches. In my video I am using the branch that has the white tape on it. I see a black/white striped lead and a green lead coming off of it. I have the red lead from my light bar hooked to the black/white lead of the sub-harness and the black lead from the light bar hooked to the green lead from the harness. With regards to the fastener I used to mount the relay to my Pioneer, I don't know what size it was other than it was a 1/4" long bolt with a hex head. I just fished around in my bucket of odds-and-ends hardware and found one that fit nicely in the hole in the Pioneer frame. Sorry I don't have a better answer. Just grab some spare bolts and nuts and find something that fits the hole.
It works fine. Now granted, I have taken the Pioneer on a total of two rides this summer and none in the rain. So, it really hasn’t been subjected to much use. I honestly just ride my dirt bikes more because the Pioneer is soooo slow.
wow what a difference!

Thanks for the video, which windshield do you have on your 520 and do you like it?

Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

I actually haven’t added anything else to the harness since I put it in. I don’t know why you wouldn’t be able to hook a winch up to it.

Happy Easter 🐇
Thank you for sharing
So by using that Honda sub harness you didn’t need to run the pos and neg leads to the battery?
That is correct. The harness hooks into an auxiliary power supply to allow you to pull power without having to run wires to the battery. And to be clear, this auxiliary power is controlled by the key switch, so power is only available when the key is on.
Is that an aftermarket bumper or OEM? I just picked up a 2023 520, thanks.
That is a Honda OEM part. It was a $300 add-on from my dealership at the time of purchase. That was without installation which I did myself.
Nice bar...where did you purchase aftermarket bumper?
I actually purchased it from the dealership at the time I picked up the Pioneer. It's a Honda OEM part.

When does the 890 review come out?
Coming soon!
How is the light bar working after 5mo?
It works fine. Now granted, I have taken the Pioneer on a total of two rides this summer and none in the rain. So, it really hasn’t been subjected to much use. I honestly just ride my dirt bikes more because the Pioneer is soooo slow.
