Still trying to figure whether I want a Honda 1/2 windshield or a full SuperATV/Honda full. But I want a Honda Bimini top. However on the Honda site it shows the Bimini top isn’t compatible with a Honda windshield? Seems crazy. Is that the case?

Have you looked at the alien shades? Seems a lot of members run them and like them. Not that it helps with your question at all so forgive me.

I use a Bimini top with the 2 piece super ATV shield. For 8 years now.
When I first got the soft top it raised up like a sail going down the road. Then I found on the soft top in the front there is a heavy reinforced strip. So if you put the shield and top on and line them up. Mark out 3 evenly spaced holes at top of shield that will line up in the reinforced spot on soft top. These poly shields drill easily, just be careful.
Once shield is drilled just heat up a screw driver with a propane torch and push it through the holes in shield and through top. Now use a small bolt and lock washer to tighten down.
In the pic you can see the 3 small bolts in center. The larger ones on outside were snaps I had tried. Snaps won’t work for long and will not take 90 mph.😂This top has been on 3 other shields that have failed from abuse.
Also I will shout out to super ATV 2 piece shield which I love.
The Bimini tops do fade over time and can be removed and painted which black acrylic paint to water proof and make like new again.

Had a Honda Bimini top for a short time. Makes a nice parachute and dosnt clean up very well when muddy if you like sh!t clean. The alien shade is the way to go if u want that kind of top over a hard top

They originally made it work, but you had to cut the top of the windshield off straight to attach it to the fabric top.
That was a horrible idea so they just said it doesnt fit.

Thanks everyone. Geeze! I’ll definitely look into the alien top.

These are good folks to deal with too. I have one for my 700-2 that I use all spring thru early fall before swapping back to the hardtop for deer season. Shy Bull Fam Canvas Tops
