P1000 Hard-coat windshield

[coleman4868]

I had a Honda brand hard coat windshield in the past, it worked really well as far as scratch resistant. Comparing the bottom part that wasn’t hard coat to the top that was was the proof it worked as it should. My question, is super atv hard coat as good? Is there a hard coat that’s better?

I have the SuperATV flip up and have been very happy. I ride a lot of tight trails that heavy brush and branches have raked across the windshield with no scratches. Very durable.

I have had both , I like my Super ATV much better.

Wondering why they didn't hard coat the bottom part also? Seemed strange.

Idk, skimping on quality to save a few cents I guess.

We do the hard coating ourselves, so the coated windshields would be cut from a complete sheet of pre-coated material.

Pretty cool process. So cool...I'm not even allowed to take pics of it. The coating guys are in lab-coats and goggles doing it right outside my office. You know its good stuff when the guys are in lab coats!

I’m about ready to pull the trigger on a windshield and spare tire carrier. Thanks

I will say it's tough!

So everyone agrees that the hard coating is tough and wears well.
My question is can I trailer the flip up windshield installed on a 1000-5 on an open trailer at highway speed with the stock locking mechanism without fear of the wind catching and having it fly open. Or is there a way or need to tie it shut so this can’t happen?

I’ve towed mine at 110kmh with no problems.

Thanks, the position of your light bar helps to break up the wind in the critical area. Your setup is identical to what mine would be. Good to hear no problems. 😁

Trailer mine all the time and it stays shut no problem. I did make a center support that goes back to the seat that I put in place when towing. Don't know if it makes much difference but thought it would stop the windshield from bowing too much.

I always wondered that as well.

Can definitely see the difference in the 2 panels. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I received an email with a 10% off code, so I ordered the windshield. But I wasn’t able to use the military discount, so I didn’t order the spare tire carrier.

Ahh...they may void each other out. You can definitely use the regular old forum member code along with the military code! But...the code you got in the email may void it all.

I change it every week or so, so it stays here in the forums for you guys. You just shoot me a message whenever you need anything, and I'll let you know whatever the code is that week.
