it makes my bones hurt just thinking about riding in the winter without something to block the wind especially with the cold we've had lately (i'm in NH also). i said screw it when I bought mine, i figured if im digging a hole I may as well dig a deep one so I bought a roof, windshield, rear panel and soft doors 4 all four doors and a heater when i bought it, i'm getting to old to play in the cold like that anymore. At least your set up works for , I think @DG Rider did something simular.
