Macgyver55 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Next door neighbor that I ride with has a Rincon. Just turned 3000 miles on his this week while we were up north. Not a single problem yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidr Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I purchased a O5 rincon in the fall...got just under 100 hours on it and so far so good. Yes its a little tuff to start in the winter but it does have a primer for them 30 below days. Put on a set of ITP mudders and nothing will stop you. My 05 is a 650...the new 06 is a 700 and fuel injected...friend has it and it rips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hill7410 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks for the input guys, if i could change one thing it would trade racks with the rubicon, but the main thing it is a honda, my dad bought a 300 4x4 new in '98 and only had to replace the batter, just a beast when they come to durability and reliabilty, dont have to worry about the chains falling off, I was talking to some other people and am debating if i should get the GPS or not, what do you guys think?? Also do you have any good suggestions on where i could buy a 2 place aluminum trailer, or if you know of anybody that might have one for sale?? The steel trailers just rust to fast. Thanks.

Big D 1 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I bought a rubicon this winter, have maybe 3 hours on it, but LOVE it...wish I would have gotten the GPS...can I upgrade the module, does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver55 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Its only my opinion but the GPS is pretty basic on them. You would more than likely get more use out of a hand held and just mount it with a RAM handlebar mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I agree with Mac about buying a handheld GPS and using a RAM Mount. Here's an older thread that gave a few more opinions about buying the Honda with GPSscape. Older Thread with Opinions about Honda GPS I hope this helps in making your decision.

SomethingFishy* Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I purchased a newmans Sled Bed 8'6" x 11' v front aluminum trailer with the diamand plated salt shields for drive on/ drive off capability, spare tire and wheel jack. I found that they were less expensive than other brands.

hill7410 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah, that is what i was worried about, the gps not having much of functionality, i am just better using a RAM mount with my handheld, Somethingfishy, how much was that trailer that you bought, i am not really looking to spend more than a grand, did you shop around at other dealers too? Thanks for the advice, this site sure helps out when making a big purchase, you are able to find out all the pro's and con's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingFishy* Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I have $1500 into the trailer with all the accesories after tax title liscense. Without the extras (salt shields, spare tire, wheel jack) it was just over $900+ taxes and liscense. Picked it up at the plant in Royalton. Same trailer (different brand) at mimbach would have been $1899+ $400 for salt shields. Hope that helps. -Josh- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyeeme Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Spend $300 more and get a royal stainless trailer it will last your lifetime and your kids lifetime. People say there to heavy but with steel trailors falling apart and my 6 place aluminum snowmobile trailer cracking everytime I put six sleds on it. My stainless is bulletproof. Thats just one idiots opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hill7410 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Did anybody that bought a honda recently get really good service, i talked to somebody they said it was hard to get good service, also do you think if i am willing to buy a 8K machine, plow, winch, helmet, and atv cover, and even a trailer, they should be able to cut some kind of a deal, like i seen polaris giving the winch for 69 bucks. I hope if i spend 10K at a place they can give me something in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Pete Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 A little off track but I just purchased a Rincon. I wanted a windshield but the dealer said the ones he can get arn't very good. Does anybody have a windshield on their Rincon?? Opinions one it? Where did you get it. Cost?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Pistol Pete, see if they can get a Cobra windshield made by Sportech. (You can google search for "Cobra ATV windshield") We had a thread on windshields last year and quite a few liked the Cobra. About $100 for one.

hill7410 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 How about that good service?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingFishy* Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I looked very strongly for a honda, and could not find a dealer within 200 miles that would work a deal. The polaris $69 winch offer isn't as good as it seems. If you don't take the winch they give you $500 off of the machine. (thats what I did).

davidr Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I purchased my rincon through the hithcing post in coon rapids...mine was a 05, got it in the fall so the factory gave $2200 off msrp...pretty tuff to get them to add more discounts or free stuff...I bought a single place trailer..winch..plow...bumpers...the whole 9 yards..they did through in tow straps. Anyway, what i liked is the service manager owns a rincon so that gave me the warm fuzzy. Had an accident brough it back to get repaired, they did a steller job..no complants as of yet. Also had real good luck with Larson's in Cambridge...but that was too far for me to drive with $2.98/gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
