P1000 What windshield to buy?

[bmcote]

Glass or poly? Full or half? Flip? Hard coated? Vents? Wipers? AHHHHH!!! So many options!

OK, so after the cold sweats have receded, I am still asking myself "what windshield to buy?"

I do...

• mainly use my P15KD around the yard doing chores and towing at low speed,
• want something to deflect bugs/wind while going around the corner to friends houses at < 30 mph,
• want to put a plow on this fall (me and my neighbors 200' driveways, nothing crazy), so having some snow protection might be nice,
• currently have the Honda OEM roof installed,
• want to put on a full front light bar this fall (for Halloween of course),
• enjoy some breeze while driving in the warmer weather.

I don't...

• do much (or any) trail riding,
• want to overheat this summer,
• want to deal with scratches (if possible),
• want to spend more than $500-$600 (also if possible).

Is this so much to ask for??? LOL.

So if y'all sold accessories for a living, what windshield would you sell to me based on the above criteria???

Super ATV flip up windshield. No questions asked... Should cover all of your needs.

What he👆 said X100!

A two piece windshield that will allow cool air in during summer months is mandatory. Cabs get hot at low speed.

I've owned a two piece SuperAV in a Talon and a two piece Honda from a dealer in my now Pioneer.

I prefer the Honda because the Honda latches are on each outside end and allow infinite adjustability with secure knobs.

The SuperATV w/s has only a center latch and allows slightly open, or full open. Not as secure.

Yes, the SuperATV unit is less expensive.

SATV FLIP! 🥳

In NW Arkansas we have tight brushy trails, with any kind of flip up, you'll rip it right off the the Summer with it open. I like my Kolpin shortie the best in the summer and run my Alien shade roof. Winter back goes on the flip up windshield and the hard roof.

If you run the state land trails here there tight too with alot of pine branches and your going at a clip of 25-35 mph and Ive never had it rip off. But i see your point. It dosnt scare me to leave it on.

I have the SATV flip up and I’ve never liked it. It’s great in theory but I’ve never been able to get the rattles out of mine. I’ve spent hours loosening and tightening and tweaking every adjustment on the damn thing. Only way to make it tolerable when fully closed is to remove the drivers side piston completely.

My SuperATV flip has taken some serious hits and proven itself to be beyond worthy.

I love my super atv flip up.

I’ve had quite a few different windshields, the super atv flip up is the best of all. This weekend I’ll probably cut the zip ties I have on it so I can vent it. In winter I zip tie it closed and then it doesn’t rattle at all. (Not that it rattles anymore than any other sxs I have owned)

On a typical riding day, I am constantly changing it from closed to vented to open depending on temp, bugs or dust.

I’ve also hit a lot of branches with it closed and open, it’s durable.

I keep a squeegee inside with a long handle to clear it in snow or mud or rain.

Thanks everyone for the reply! It is down to the SuperATV Flip up (Home Page - SuperATV) and the Honda Two-Piece Poly Windscreen (Two-Piece Poly Windscreen (Optical)). The Honda one is more expensive and I asked @SuperATV for a discount code.

I am worried about the rattling of the SuperATV model. I finally got the rattle out of the doors, and I don't want to take a step backwards! Does anyone have the Honda model and have any comments on it? And does anyone have any more comments on the SuperATV rattle issue that @dilligaff82 brought up?

Also to my surprise, no one mentioned the Seizmik Vented Windshield (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JPHVZ91/?tag=sxsweb24-20).

Is that just not a good fit given my criteria? I like the idea of a solid windshield with less moving parts to keep the rattle down but don't want to overheat. Are the vents just too small with this one?

I have the OEM glass and like it a lot. There are a couple of downsides to it though as well as upsides.
Downsides:
Heat/no vents (I'm tempted to try and cut some vents in it)
Dust (combat with sealing doors and screens)
When driving quickly in rain the mist sucks back into the cab and hits the inside of the windshield (needed to squeegee which is common on any windshield with the pioneer)
Upsides:
No rattles
Can use windshield wiper (no scratches - just found this out after some very dusty muddy riding)
Easy to remove
Seals well to factory roof for winter/rain
Good viewing window
Simple installation
No scratches

Overall its very nice but be prepared to buy some extras to defeat the dust caused by the drag from the windshield.

I have had the honda two piece hard coat windshield for 4k miles. It works as designed. It's a pain to open and close alone. A passenger make this much easier. Also the honda windshield wraps around the front of the rops and this has lead to trees and rocks removing chunks of the outer edges and cracked it. This was from obvious and admitted abuse but I watched as several super atv windshields took it without damage. I'll be switching to the super atv just for the simplicity of opening and closing on the fly as there is nothing fast about opening the Honda two piece.

Bought the hard cab tilting and love it.

Super ATV on mine and works perfectly - no rattles, but I've heard they complicate installing some, soft upper door kits.
I don't have upper doors yet. (oh great, another pile of money I can ...). So I can't say for certain it's true.
