P500 Doolin64's C.R.A.P. 500 Build

[Tigermark]

And my restoration is done! Now to ride.

These Pitbull tires ride smooth! But they did rob some of the already tepid acceleration. Curious to see how it scoots along on the trail.

Kimpex windshield install tonight.

Can you post a "run-down" of sorts on the Kimpex windshield?

 

[doolin64]

Sure can. I'll snap a few more pics and my thoughts so far.

I have my next windshield picked out and I wanted to mention it, but decided I should do my homework on the Kimpex first. I can't even find this windshield for a Pioneer.

Found and example on E-Bay. But, I can't find a good write-up on it.

I'm not sure if I have an organ worth donating to scientific research that would be glass worthy..

Can you get under the "hood". Hate to waste a dealer Freebie.

Not easily.. I put the husky side tool box with the strong made basket on mine so it didn't matter to me.

I want the EMP next. QUick release and hard coat on both sides.

 

[doolin64]

EMP was actually my first choice. I loved how simple it mounted. I was worried it wouldn't fit with my Moose roof. So I went with this Kolpin.

I also should add, the windshield for me is a winter option. I plan to run no windshield or back window in the summer. I typically won't ride If the weather is bad anyhow. I never ride with a windshield on my atv either. That was through the winters as well.

As for the Kolpin, supposedly this one is scratched resistant. It mounts easily if there is no roof blocking you. I'd bet it would be a faster install with the Honda roof. It uses six plastic clips to mount. To access your underhood storage you just have pull the windshield up. 4 clips on each side. Leave the two at the top clipped so the windshield rotates up. The vent does not block my view and I'm 6'2. Allegedly this alleviates the negative pressure to avoid dust coming in from behind. I can't attest to that. My vent did come with a broken tab to hold a vent door closed. I called my seller and Kimpex sent me a new one within a week. For now I'll run the original and keep the new one as a backup.

I can't attest to its scratch resistance. It's plastic after so I don't have high hopes. I think glass is the only way to go to avoid that. I'll update as I get more use on it and take it in the trails.

I did not use the upper clips as I drilled out the windshield so my roof clamps could mount. This picture is looking up at the roof. The light grey is weather stripping I used to avoid vibration if the roof on the cage originally.

I paid $228 shipper off of eBay.

There is airflow from the vents. But it's tough to discern how much. I only zipped around my neighborhood. Otherwise moving firewood was too slow to have air movement. I definitely update you guys more as I get time on it.
