P1000 Tusk metal roof with SATV Flip up roof mod

[HotShot848]

Hello everyone,

So my first add-on to my 2020 1000-5 was the SATV flip up windshield to keep the wife and kids happy with no wind in their faces. I then added the Tusk metal roof which im very happy with.

One thing that I read on Rockymountainatv when I bought the roof is that I would need to add 3/8" spacers to the roof mounts to work with the windshield. I didn't want to go that route.

My solution was to make some L brackets to mount the top bracket of the windshield. I used the top corner net mounting hole since I removed my front nets. So far, this set up is working great. I added lock washers to the net mounting bolt and used grade 8 bolts for the top of the L bracket.

Just wanted to start a thread in case anyone else has ran into this issue. I'll attach photos of the set up.

Great idea. I ran into the same deal with the same windshield and a Kolpin metal roof. Went about it in a different way. One thing I got with the metal roof is some metal on metal squeaking which I solved with nylon washers between the roof and roll bar clamp.

I haven't taken it on a trip yet, but will on Monday. I'll give an update of fit, finish and function. The tusk roof is 1/8" thick and very sturdy. I picked tusk for the water run off edges like gutters.

I do want to add larger diameter washers to the top side of the roof to ensure in leaks from the oblong mounting holes.

Wish I'd have known about this before I bought mine, would have gone with the Tusk
