MUDBUSTERS 1056 HONDA Pioneer 500 1 fender flares are the ultimate protection against mud, debris, and other trail hazards for your Honda Pioneer 500. Made in the USA from high-quality materials, these extended fenders are built to withstand the toughest conditions. Installation is a breeze with included self-tapping screws and push rivets, and the fenders can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement. With MUDBUSTERS 1056 HONDA Pioneer 500 1, you can ride with confidence knowing that your machine is protected from the elements.

Thank you for purchasing MudBuster’s fender flares for the Honda Pioneer 500! We manufacture the best-

selling fender flare kits for UTVs and side by sides! All MudBusters products are made in the USA, and these fender

flares are manufactured from high-quality American made material. Your new extended fenders are designed to

deflect debris and reduce the amount of mud that typically gets thrown from the tires into unwanted areas. They can

withstand a lot of abuse, but they are not designed for crash protection, absorbing impacts, rollovers, or uprooting

trees. If you have an accident or if you happen to damage your fenders, order discounted replacement fenders by

phone (for existing customers only). Unlike other manufacturers, you do not have to buy a complete set if you

damage just one fender.

IMPORTANT:

Some of the images in the instructions below may differ from the actual product. In our continual effort to increase

customer satisfaction, we may change the style, material, and/or hardware to serve you better. If your fenders get

slightly distorted while in transit, apply pressure to the distorted areas to straighten them out before installation.

Use caution when drilling into the factory panels of your vehicle. Make sure that you do not penetrate the surrounding

parts or the chassis (unless instructed). Self-tapping screws and push rivets are included as an effective and easy

way to fasten the fender flares to your machine. However, you can use other methods of securing our extended

fenders to your vehicle as well (i.e., rivets, misc. hardware, etc.). Remember, it may be helpful to have a friend assist

you with the installation.

Unboxing:

Carefully open your package from the box's top (or bottom) by removing the staples with a flat-head screwdriver or

plyers. Slide the fenders out of the box and make sure that any staples do not scratch your fenders. MudBusters are

formed to fit your machine but shipped in a narrow box. You may find it necessary to apply pressure and re-bend

some of your fenders for a better fit. Don’t worry, they’re very durable and will not break from re-shaping them!

Note: Using a larger drill bit may allow the fender to come off when riding! The rivets need to be a tight fit to secure

the fender flare to the fender. We recommend a 21/64” drill bit.

Note: Max coverage set shown. Smaller sets (Mud-Lite, or Race-Lite) may have less hardware in the front of the

front fender or the lower front of the rear fender than pictured. In these cases, it may be helpful to use the rear

mounting locations first for installation ease.

Thank you for your business!
