P500 Ready to Press the Button on a Windscreen

[tomcj2]

I have decided on either:
1) Honda OEM tilt-out (Hard Coat)
2) UTV Windshields and Accessories TILT WINDSHIELD 1/4" MAR
If I go with the UTV W&A I can also buy their BACK WINDSHIELD 3/16" MAR and pay about $40(US) less than the Honda windscreen alone.
(If I buy the BACK WINDSHIELD now I'll save $100 shipping should I want it later)

I'm leaning towards the UTV W@A.

Do you have a good reason that I should choose the Honda instead ?

I have the hardcoat UTV brand in the 3/16 full tilt and like it... it’s not 100% sealed up but I use the half most time and full only when raining... keeps me dry and is out of my way when I don’t need it... it was lil cheaper than the 1/4... free shipping on amazon

Lol, I was one of the 30. Was at work and didn't have time to search that UTV brand windshield. Next time, post us a link if you're needing a quick response.
I checked it out now and it doesn't look bad other than the hinge in your line of sight, but it folds open and that's pretty cool.

Hinge sits pretty low... on mine well below line of sight you be fine...

I received my windscreens yesterday from UTV Accessories, UTV Windshields USA Scratch Resistant!. If their products are half as good as their customer service I am sure that I will be happy.
- I had a couple of questions before I placed the order; They returned my voicemail within an hour.
- they shipped on time.
- the screens were well packaged to avoid damage.
- they followed up with an email yesterday to advise me that they should be arriving and they gave links to videos to explain installation and recommended cleaning techniques.
I hope to install them in a couple of days if the rain stops.

I kinda over torqued my screws holding the clamps/windshield cracked mine a lil... didn’t spread past there much but I went ahead and got fender washers and put them on both sides to spread the force out... except for the two screws that are too close to the hinge, there I used regular ones.. other than that awesome windshield as far as I’m concerned...

I installed the front one yesterday. It took me about 30 minutes. It is easier to do with another set of hands. It fits very well and the hinge and upper joint don't interfere with my vision.
So far I am very pleased but only time will tell if I made the correct choice.

I’ve been happy with mine fits my needs u should be fine... mine did crack a lil bit at holes from over torquing them a lil bit, gorilla glued some fender washers to spread the force a lil bit and it’s been fine since
