P700 Which windshield type do y’all prefer?

[Smalltownbulldog]

Thinking about adding a windshield. Right now my main goal is to keep bugs and seeds out of my little girls eyes when we ride, but want to consider everything before I just throw on the first cheapest thing I find and it ends up not working for what I want a little while later. Besides half, full fixed, flip out, flip down, screen- any other designs? What are the pros and cons of each?

I prefer none, but a 1/2 does a good job of deflecting stuff. Also there is a screen windshield that is out there (somebody will link it shortly) that kinda gives you the best of both. You could also make a homemade one with a window kit from Lowe's.

Honda

Used to be known as a bugbuster, but that website forwards to the above now.

I’m running the Honda half windshield (they call it an air deflector). I keep it on all year ‘round. It works great for me. It blocks the air good but I would still recommend safety glasses or goggles, just in case. The Honda half is shorter than the super ATV (I think) but when it gets muddy or dusty you still have plenty of visibility.

Glass (honda) for cooler months, Bugbuster (Rouge Powersports) for warmer months

I like the idea of a windshield that folds down on top of the hood, but those don’t seem to be very common compared to the fold up style. Anyone tried the flip down?Guessing there may be some vibration issues

Run the OEM Tilt one in the colder months. Remove the upper portion in the summer. Lower portion is "permanent", and doesn't do much for deflecting. It'l get warm if you run any windshield during the hot months though... Better off wearing goggles/safety glasses when its hot.

I run the half windshield year round. Sometimes with goggles when its really dusty or at night for bugs. I still get plenty of air flow when it's hot out. I'm planning on trying a full shield this winter.

I run Honda 2 piece. I take the top piece off when it's hot and still have a small half left. It works for me , would buy it again.

I have one that the top half folds down onto the hood, I really like it, no vibration problems that I know of. Can't tell ya where to look for one though, mine is made by Yamaha for the x2.

I have the Honda Oem tilt out, it’s pretty good.

I like the looks of that one. Can you trailer your Pioneer with it installed?

I do all of the time, my cabin is a 200 mile round trip every time go up and I pulled it to Tennessee for the Takeover.

Nice! I'm going to give one a try this fall. I normally trailer about 1000 miles round trip every month to the mountains.

Similar to Russ989, I have the Super ATV flip out. It locks shut (what i use for trailering), locks a little bit open, and then flips up to stay open all the time. I really like it. Up here in WI, we have all the seasons and it works well. For cold temps or when its raining, it makes a big difference to have it shut. But when its warm out, either having it open all the way or the in-between setting work great too. I think I went with the SuperATV because it was less expensive than the Honda. Also, get the hard coated one. This windshield is nice because you don't have to do and taking off or putting on for different temps outside. Just lift the lever and put it to the position you want.

I bought a full, glass Honda windshield. BIG MISTAKE!!! The heat build up in the cab (P1000-3) is unbearable. Recently removed both doors for relief. I would go with something that would allow you to let in air if you should choose to do so. Split windshield of some kind?

I have a Super ATV flip up windshield, I love it.

Anybody running a glass windshield?
Which would you recommend?

hey Mudwing i dont know anything about the glass windshield but are you going to run it year round or just for the cold winters you have . I was curious about them I run the honda 2 piece it works well because in the summer I don't run it because I like the ventilation. And with the brackets I bought that Russ had on his I like it even more but with the mud you ride I know it would not work for you and would not last long.
