Super ATV Glass Windshield- Can it be towed backwards?

[McCarthy]

Hey guys, looking at buying this: Super ATV Front Glass Windshield

The super atv glass front windshield with wiper, but I have to tow the talon backwards on the trailer otherwise there isn't enough tongue weight, Is this okay with the windshield?

I haven't tried it but I would not be afraid to .

Do you have any kind of rear panel? If not, I'd be afraid to tow backwards.

Have you looked at the Tusk glass windshield that folds down on the hood (like an old Willie's Jeep)?...

Without a back window I would have the same fear as @Cuoutdoors towing it backwards. I have towed mine backwards with the Super ATV flip windshield But I do have a back window on it.

Mine is a 3 seat with glass windshield and has a soft back panel. Judging by the tension on the rear panel when I tow it backwards im worried the windshield would blow out.

If you have a windshield and roof my thought is its acting more like a parachute than a deflector. I could be wrong but I'd hate to see a sheet of glass come out on the interstate. Somebody always has to be first to try though 😃. If you give it a shot let us know.

I have the honda full glass windshield. I always tow it backwards. No issues. In fact its usually drier inside the seating area than outside when its raining while being towed. Gotta be some sort of pressure differences. Probably have a few thousand miles with it loaded backwards by now.

Nothing on the rear? I assume there's a roof....

Good to know!

It definitely creates low pressure in the cab. Glad to hear someone has tried it.

Yep full roof. No rear panel just open.

Thanks guys. No back panel. Hopefully super atv will chime in.

I don't know, it makes me a little nervous. I think slow short trips would be ok, but I wouldn't do it personally. Its super easy to remove, so I'd just take it off when you trailer it. Its just the 4 clamps. Nothing to it.
It could be totally fine, but I wouldn't take the chance personally.

What about towing forward facing but load the trailer tongue down with a few sand bags just to correct the weight distribution. Shouldn’t take much unless your trailer is really short 🤷🏻‍♂️
