If you're reading this post then you're probably looking for a solution to the cab noise and heat issue that all sxs's suffer from. Most just accept it as part of the riding experience and a certain amount is to be expected. Then you take the wife or kids along with you and they are far less tolerant, to the point they don't want to ride. A lot of us faced with this situation have resorted to DIY stuff in the garage to combat it. Tapes, foils, carpet... none of them being a solid fix.
Faced with the same problem, my first one was made with foil backed carpet. It worked but got wet and muddy and had to be taken out all the time. Then I had the idea to make one out of some roofing rubber I had laying in the garage and it worked much better. Could get wet and muddy and never had to be taken out. The stuff is made to be in the elements for decades without degrading. I shared what I had done on this forum to let others know how well it worked and they may want to make one themselves.
After riding a couple yrs this way, another forum member said that the material was expensive and hard to come by. Wanted to know if he paid me if I'd make one for him? Ended up selling hundreds of them for that machine but kept getting requests for other machines. Finally reached out to other members and used their machines to get more patterns. I now have them for all the Honda's (excluding the Talon 4 seater), also have them for other makes and models too.
Quick Shields are hand cut from American made sheet rubber (Ohio) and not the cheap stuff. They are made from patterns that were hand made inside the specific machine they were designed for so they cover as much area as possible, fit and hang right. Rubber fits tight around seatbelt latches and covers holes under and behind the seats. It won't interfere with any factory items, can be cut for aftermarket accessories and wiring that may have been added, and allows access for maintenance. Install and removal is easy leaving the machine unaltered, no sticky crap left behind. It's black and once installed it basically disappears, you'll forget it's there.
There's dozens of reviews in another thread, it works. Is it going to block all the heat and noise, no, but take it out on a hot summer day and you'll know it's not in there.
