P1000 Anyone here use this glass windshield?

[EricG]

Came across this glass windshield when doing some research for them. I've been hoping for a windshield made of glass that opens all the way. I know there are some that crack open at the bottom and there is one that opens jeep style but you need their roof for it to work. This one is vented at the bottom and the vents can be opened or closed and comes with dual wipers on it.

Can you post a link. I went on their site and didn’t find the windshield. Matter of fact I didn’t find anything for a Honda!

I don’t do Facebook. What’s the price it looks nice.

 

[EricG]

899 with the dual wipers plus shipping.

That’s not bad compared to the lowest price I found $828.00 for the Honda OEM versions.

Guess I’ll have to wait for more specifics until he updates his web site.

You say it lays down like a Jeep but in the picture it looks like it is fixed. Any pictures of it folded down? Oh crap I miss read it this is fixed windshield

If he’d had that in January I’d have been all over it.

Yeah its fixed. I have been holding out in hopes of someone making one that opens but every fabricator I talk to says the size of the windshield and the weight of the glass makes it impossible to design one that is stable enough to trust. I want glass because I want an electric wiper, but be able to open for the summer would be nice. This one he said is vented which helps I guess.

I had a vented with bigger vents than this one and was useless

Thanks for the input on that. I really want one that opens but it doesn't seem like that is happening anytime soon.

So I talked to Alumilite today and they are now making them and they open up all the way with shocks but it would cost me $1350 with shipping. Not sure I can swallow that much for a windshield.

Wow that a bunch. Will it work with the Honda top and does that include a wiper system?

He said it does, but you have to use a heat gun just on the corners of the roof to get a 1/4" of a bend for the roof to sit right. Yes wiper is included. It was $135 more for the opening option. But I guess its a good think the option now exists.

Which vented sheild did you have?

Damn... I can buy a lot of Super ATV windshields for that.

It was homemade by me on my Big Red here is the best picture I can find. The holes are plugged with foam in this picture for winter open in summer but didn't let near enough air thru to help I didn't think. If I remember correct there were 5 - 1"X 6" holes

I know its a kick in the ass but it is what I want. In actuality I like the looks of the 1st one I posted better but he said no way on designing it to open because of the size of the window. He's afraid of it breaking because the glass is huge and heavy.

I agree.. I’d like an opening glass. But damn. I can run a wiper on the plastic for quite a while and replace several times after it scratches.
