Also, I've thought about taking a full windshield and putting 1 or 2 slides in the bottom of it. Then you could adjust and control the amount of air that comes in. Has anyone done anything like this? I think it would be a nice feature!!

Just did some reading on this to see if it is possible to hard coat Lexan. It appears it has a coating on it called Margard. A sheet of this stuff is very expensive so now I can see why the cost of the Honda shield is so expensive.

Go Glass, Mine has a flap on the bottom that will open and close for ventilation. Love it

Do you ride in deep woods? I really like the idea of a full windshield, but I'm afraid I would break it quickly in the woods.

I ride all over, rocks, trails, you name it. The glass is 1/4 inch laminated safety glass, Same glass thats in you car. So far its been great. It has duel flaps on the bottom that will open and close on the drivers side, great for ventilation .

Golden, where did you get the windshield in your picture?

Has anyone ever tried the full glass windshield with vents made by Kolpin? It looks like it's a new design. This is the only glass windshield with vents that I came across. Let me know your thoughts. The link is below.

It looks like the flaps on the Kolpin are too small to offer enough air to prevent dust from boiling in. I had the one like Golden does on a couple of rzrs. I added vents along the top of the windshield and had good results getting enough air in to prevent dust suction.

My SuperATV split has been excellent.
Just dont wipe it dry and only clean it with dish soapy water.
JMO.

The SuperATV split windshield was my second option. I just really hate to have it get scratched. For only $100 more I can have a glass windshield and can install a wiper on it if I wanted. Have you had rocks and branches hit your windshield without any scratches?

Hey golden, do you have more pics of the ventilation? Where did you purchase the windshield?

I plan on having a top and back panel, which will help cut down on the dust intake. Has anyone sealed the bottom of the doors up better? Would this help with dust intake?

You might not have to worry about dust as much, however I just came from owning a Wildcat X and you cannot believe how much heat your engine will add to the interior with no airflow in the cab. Have you considered a half windshield or is that not a possibility?

Yes,
Incredibly resistant.
My youngest learning how to drive son, bounced it off every tree and branch two weeks ago. I was quiet, supportive and sure we'd ruined it.
Cleaned up like new.

SUPERATV flip up . Being able to adjust and open while driving is a MUST for me .
