P500 New Glass Windshield on a plastic windsheild frame.

Id recommend "Hardcoat" in whatever windshield you get. 2 hard years on mine with a lot of brush busting and no scratches. I work with lexan/acrylic almost every day .....that hardcoat is amazing

Totally agreed, worth the extra $$$

That Super ATV one is supposed to be coated on both sides, looks thick too.

That is the one I got...and just like others recommend...well worth the extra $! Thickness is good as well. I am one that has to unfortunately have to travel a little distance to ride and this windshield has help up great under traveling as well!

OK, a 2 year update. The glass windshield has been to Colorado for 2 weeks last year with temperatures in the low teens and Arkansas summers of up to 105. Lots of rough miles and high speed trailering and the glue is still holding perfectly. The windshield glass has not moved at all. At this point I'm going to call it good and feel confident in saying this will work.

In New Zealand Honda offers an accessory glass windshield and an electric wiper for the 500, along with a standard "tip" bed. In fact they have several cool accessories available that for some reason we don't have here.

Wonder if a laminated glass can be drilled, then use those $8 OEM ROPS clamps with rubber grommets? Just thinking of a piece above a 1/2 windshield during winter. Easier than seasonal switching between full and 1/2.

Lami can be drilled, its tricky though. If the glass is drilled from just one side the laminate can get "caught" on the bit and sort of pull and deform around the hole. Wont really hurt it too much structurally more cosmetically. So clamps would likely cover the blemish. Otherwise you have to drill from one side then flip it over and drill the other side. Its tedious but doable. I've made a couple suspended shelves with it in the past so the two sided drilling was required so they didn't look bad.

4 years now since I started this and the windshield is still good, glue has held through yearly trips to Colorado and all the bumps and limbs here in Arkansas. Temps from near 0 to 105 degrees. There has been absolutely no movement in the windshield glass glued to the plastic windshield.

Thanks for the update. Curious what a driver’s view pic looks like.
