Remi’s Orange Crush!

[Caper]

don't discount rolling your own it ya have time, local scrap yard can be your best friend, .190" scrap sheet, a little pattern making and I then cheated, dropped into auto cad, my buddy has a plasma cutter, Shazam, windshield frame.... dropped off at glass shop for glass/gasket...integrated into roof.

regret, didn't do manual windshield wiper...yet.
regret - overcomplicated vents

Is that aluminum he used, and how thick would it be ? You could easily use the original rubber from the top and bottom and sides. I did some metal work and am a jointer by trade, so it’s really just getting the aluminum. Cool
Thanks

Looks really good. Wish you were closer so I could take a good look. But that’s what I want. No more plastic. 😊

thanks - Ii used aluminum, think the glass shop used trim-lok for gasket, no issues....I bought the bottom gasket on amazon

could also get away with .25" steel sheet, rattle can it color of choice, glass shop can help with if .25" is overboard...those trim-lok gaskets have a range they fit in

I live in coal cracker land, so some local inexpensive glass shops, they are always replacing glass on the mining heavy equipment

Alright! The power steering mod/upgrade is done. I must say what a kight and day difference. Simply mint! If any of you have a pre Talon factory upgraded power steering, this must be your next mod/upgrade or your foolish cuz we all know if u have larger tires you will have dead steer and that aint cool or safe.

Back to the install. Its involved but worth it. Just take your time or use @TerryH video to help with your install if the SATV instructions mess u up! But they shouldn't. They are straight forward. Also, Terry had a great mod to get rid of the PS light on your dash. At the PS module under the drivers seat, there are three molex’s. One will have a mess of wires coming out of it, cut the yellow with green chase wire and connet a small pice of wire and connect to it and then hook it to the chassis ground right behind it and your good to go. No more light.
heres a link to his video if u like.

I wish someone made a glass windshield for the 500. Going on my 3rd Honda windshield. You can’t trailer it for 200 miles over 60 mph.. They crack at the hindges

There's two companies that do. They're not cheap.

At the yard , shipyard, we put a lot of glass in that rubber. We did the Barge that built the link to PEI, and almost finished at about 3 am, one of my guys was finishing deck head in a corner, close to the corner glass, and banged it with his hand and the whole glass shattered into a million little squares. Haha
We never let him live it down. But wasn’t his fault, glass was too tight.But I know the rubber.
With you it sounds easy. 😊
But definitely going to look into it.
Thanks DRZRon1

That looks great. Do the vents work good, and can you close them in the rain. 😊

Thanks brother. On the 500 I’ll have to get the bottom bent on the angle. Just need to find someone with a break. Any sheetmetal shop should be able to. Maybe I’ll just get the frame from the guy in Quebec and do the glass and rubber. Awesome
I’ll look into it after my knee

Really liking my Superatv glass windshield so far. Looks like the power steering will be my next project. If it can survive on @Adam490 rig it should be a good unit. I wish y'all would quit costing me money!

Well, looks like brown Santa is dropping off my Superatv PS kit tommorow. Looking forward to the improved steering, but dreading the install.

Have you watched @TerryH ’s video on the install? Not sure if that’s the one where he had an SD card crap the bed though.

Yep, just watched it for the second time. Probably watch it a couple more times before I get it put together lol
