Monte,

did you get the Honda brand or an off brand?
@Whistled03, if you type out @Montecresto like that, he will get an alert that you mentioned him which will in turn bring him to your question faster. Just a little tip for you in case you didn't know. It took me awhile to learn all the little tricks, I hope that's helpful!

The Honda brand came with my P7 and I purchased the SuperATV hard coat for the P5. Btw, what I don't like about the tilt window is that it rattles where the two pieces come together when it's closed, A, and 2, it leaks when it rains and drips directly onto my knee!

@Tflynn thanks for the tip. that will help. @Montecresto thanks that helps me make my decision. I was going to get the Honda two piece because here in GA it can start out cold and then warm up so it would of been nice to have some vent. But I don't want to listen to it rattle the whole time.

How'd that install go Dawg? Any OEM skid bolts break off on you? How many miles on your SxS?

Very easy to install..... Didn't have any bolts break off.... I have around 80-90 miles on it, I've been working alot lately... Plus I've been sawing lumber for my shed...

Like the wood miser, I see you've been busy. I asked how many miles on your machine because I have near 2,000 on mine and twisted one OEM bolt already when running wiring.

The rattle you should be able to take care of by adjusting the clamps up or down a tad and window thumb screws by pushing the edge of the windshield on each side while tightening. That drip that hits your knee can be cured with a bit of silicone on the lower piece. Best Wishes.

Thank you, 3/8" pipe insulation fixed the rattle. Are you meaning to silicone where the windshield bottom gasket sets on the hood?

Welcome @Dawg, I have a 2016 700-4. I am looking at adding an LED light bar on the front also a rear light. Also wanting to add a 2nd battery. Any chance you have an idea yet of where you are gonna put it and how you are going to install it? I also live in Jax. We should hook up and ride some time soon. Gonna hit Fat Daddy's in Waycross the 2nd week of January.

You'll be glad that you bought a 700 rather than the 1000. It's a better, tougher machine.
