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

Also curious about the functionality of the vent. Wondering if a guy could add it to an existing windshield buy cutting a hole for it if it indeed works for dust elimination. Assuming also you could buy just that part from kimpex...

I don't see why not.. and it should eliminate the suction. Wouldn't take much.

My concern is that it may not help enough. My superatv ws already has a gap across the top that is shy of the moose roof, and i still get tons of dust. Could be that the airflow blows right over that gap though as its high up. Maybe a lower "vent" point would improve it, maybe not. Too much science to work it out as a theory, easier to just test...but if it doesnt help....there in lies my and possibly others I'm guessing dilema. Hate to cut up a still good ws for no gain.

I seen one guy that added a air scoop to the roof with a dampener. That would help create a positive pressure zone.

Like ram air intake, but on the roof? And with a closable damper?

Yeah, let me search for it. It's been a long time since I saw it.

This is one. Seems like I saw another one with a camper vent in the roof one time.

The gap at the top just makes the vortex tighter. On my SuperATV flip.. the wind would come over and hit me on the top of the head. When I cracked it open it changed the suck and kept some out. I found (without a rear glass) I preferred the windshield open and goggles on.

I'll update as I get more use on it and take it in the trails.

Thanks for the run-down!!!

To eliminate the dust..

is the best solution. .

On a purely asthetical basis, that is the way to go. Can't say to its durability, it says it's steel, though it looks like stamped tin, the price isn't bad.

I have the Honda tip out windshield and having that open didn't seem to help at all. I added the Tusk rear panel but haven't had a day like this yet. The panel is dirty so it seems to be working. I have a Wolf Snout for dusty days now.
