P500 Moose utility roof install

[GaryG]

I ordered a moose roof. I'm still on the fence about a windshield. I may try it this winter without one. The places we ride around home are pretty overgrown with briers and tree limbs and I think I would destroy a windshield. maybe if we get the trails knocked down some more one would last. there is a place around home about 65 miles from me that makes windshields i was trying to find out more about their windsheids too. dot weld in Jackson, KY

So I mostly have the moose roof installed. It came with a third “P” clip to go on the front center. You have to drill a hole for it.

Is this clip needed.

You guys that have the Moose roof... is it sturdy enough to mount a light bar on top of it?

I’d recommend putting on a metal plate or some big washers on the bolts to prevent it from pulling through the roof.

That's no problem. Just wondering if it would bounce around a lot.

I did not put the center clamp on as my windshield is tucked under the front edge and I didn't want to drill through it. Also if putting a lightbar on it would need a backing plate.

I think they would bounce a little more than mountain them to the roll bars.

I think you could probably put some clamps on the frame and attach to the clamps through the roof.

I'll probably go with the EMP roof instead.

The soft top took some hard hits from hundreds of trees, but it's starting to get some tears.

I have the Moose roof also, as it allowed me to design the folding windshield that lays on top of the Moose flat roof design and a quick release rear lexan back screen. I didn't use that 3rd clamp you mentioned, drives fine without it and I drive 70mph down the highway when it's loaded in the back of my truck with no ill effects on the Moose roof. Some other roofs look better, but I like the Moose roof for simplicity and durability.

@PistonHonda, If you haven't replaced your roof yet, I think you'll be happy with the EMP, I haven't got any complaints about mine. Low profile, doesn't rattle, I also like the little rain gutter front and rear.
