Got the 1/2 after the famous P500 Takeover ride where my full windshield had more dust and mud than @trigger had on his ..ride.. :) How ya doing guy, thanks for the water.

You will also have a lot more heat in the cab with the windshield. In the cooler months is actually feels good but in the warm times it can get downright hot. My windshield is the vented version which helps with the heat but by no means eliminates it. I plan on pulling the windshield off come spring and leaving it off until the woods spiders get thick about June around here
Welcome! I made a Smitty stick for spiders, and webs. Mounted a spring mounted flag pole to the front bumper, no more webs or spiders and have a breeze.

Sharing Email today, it said no code required. But still like the Tusk brand lock down feature.

I have the Honda full windshield. I can hardly ever see through it due to glare, dirt, mud... and I don't think the hard coating does much, because scratches. I'm looking at getting or making a half windshield... but I want to get the height right so as to get as much deflection as possible

I am thinking of ordering the EMP hard coated full windshield ($200) and the plastic roof ($265). Anyone using these that can provide pros and cons? Thanks.
