Based on my heated steering wheel thread So I startedooking up windshields and backpanels based on my heated steering wheel thread. The Tusk back panel is the best deal at $60 IMO. The Honda panel at more than double the price and not necessarily worth it.

I have two questions...how far down does the fabric go down behind the seat. Secondly, does it make noise (like a flapping sound?)

I found this back window and wondered if anyone has purchased or seen it in action. Direction 2 makes some nice products. They are typically rebranded by other companies like KIMPEX and Moose.

@ehart814 has that back panel and I believe he's pleased with it. He can answer your questions.

I have the Tusk rear window and it's been great. The fabric comes down over the plastic piece that you have to remove to get to the air filter. It's a good design, and makes a big difference reducing dust. I've hauled it a few hundred miles on a trailer, and it has held up great.

It doesn't make any noise at all - actually, it probably quiets the ride a little bit. For $60 you can't go wrong.

I have had the Honda rear vinyl panel for about two years now and no issues (even hauled from PA to KY with it on). Love being able to unzip and open the back in the summer days to let the air flow through (I have the Honda tip out front window). Of course when I purchased it the Tusk wasn't available yet...but liking the Honda one :) That rear one looks a lot like this one UTV Headquarters - Honda Pioneer 500 Rear Windshield

TUSK installed. Not very good pictures but it gives you an idea..

Velcro over the top bar, adjustable straps on the sides and underneath behind the seats. <<<60$$. I figured for that price I'd give it a try.
