Do you want it to block the wind or are you trying to keep mud out of your face? The 1/2 windshields do a good job of pushing the air up and over under most conditions. If you want to keep mud and flying debris out, than go with the full windshield...
I'm just wondering if the two piece windshield works well. On a two piece windshield the upper piece can be removed and hence a 1/2 windshield. I'm just wondering how people like the two piece design.
Personally I don't run a windshield but have several Friends that do. The 2 piece windshield is not my first choice as the overlapping joint tends to distract you and interfere with your view and always tends to collect dirt easier than the rest of the windshield. I would settle on a one piece full windshield or a half or 1/4 windshield and not the 2 piece windshield. Just my $0.02
I got the Oem 1/4 or 1/2 whatever it is and then I had my local glass place cut me a upper piece out 1/4 inch plexi...works great and I have the option of taking it off witch I do a lot.
Can you show us a pic of it? I also have the OEM 1/2 windshield and it really sucks, all my friends have the half style and they work(polaris , artic cat machines) but mine does not for some reason
I personally have a brp 1/2 windshield for summer riding and made myself a full glass one for winter riding. The plexi dosnt do to well when you need to scrape ice it gets scratched up. So I defantly would recommend at least the 1/2 shield. All depends on the pocket book also.
I'd like to really have a two piece that you could remove the top part in the summer, then put it back on in the summer. One thing is I do a lot of road ridding, like 70% road miles, I did look at the EMP full windshield, I did kinda like it! I think a full one would be nice on the road!! Looks to be a quick removal for if your were to do some hard core woods ridding!! hum decisions decisions-Haha
No, It is not in my field of view. I am 6'1. If I were to give it a number where it might be of concern maybe if someone was 5'4 or 5'5.. Even then, it is just a line, nothing to irritating. I have used this windshield late nights in heavy fog at the coast and had no problems. I like to coat the hell out of it with RAINX and it really stays clear like that........
pardon my ignorance but what is the benefit of the windshield just tilting that little bit vs being able to completely remove it out of you way?? How about a pic from driver seat? Kinda see how it is looking out?
No problem for the question rocker. The benefit of that is when your behind other rigs especially at the sand dunes or very dusty conditions, you can't tilt it up to help ventillate out the cab but still have some protection fot your eyes and vision...it's a pretty cool feature and quite handy after using one for a couple years... i will post up a pic from drivers seat when I'm back at the shop tomorrow and post it up...
I really like this set up. As you can see, I can still see, and not a lot of mud was on my goggles. Very Little if any, yes legs and arms covered, but not my goggles. (Just cut the middle out.) I'm 6'4" and this works great.
I'm 5'11" and have the Kolpin split windshield and love it. I don't find that it affects my field of vision at all. It was nice when it got real dirty and in a couple minutes without any tools I removed it and cleaned it in the pond and put the thing back on.
