P1000 Honda 2 Piece Windshield Modification

[wilson111]

Anyone tried modifying their 2 piece windshield so that it tilts up more. I would like something that has hydraulic lift supports. I personally think that the windshield tilt out mechanism is cheap and should be a lot easier to use....

I agree....for what it costs the tilt part sucks. I had a kolpin on my T4 and it was much easier to use.

Good idea, I may try this. I'll at least see watch this thread to see if y'all come up with a good idea.

Some simple shocks like they use on the rear gull wing soft doors might work well to raise the windshield higher.

Might try some shocks off a truck toolbox considering they are not to long and could raise it some.

Any luck with this mod?

I haven't tried anything yet...would like it to be like the super atv 2-piece windshield.

Me too

I would like to have a machinist mill me a new bracket about 4 inches longer. I would be happy with that amount of opening.

If you find someone to machine them. I sure would buy a set also.

If it could direct air down instead of just up it would help with the dust and heat

I am in the process of making a simple air foil so that the air will be directed onto myself from the roof.
Was experimenting by just placing my hand and will Benifit big time on a hot day.

Please post picture when done. I was checking it today using my hand. Thinking your deflector will help a lot.

does anyone have a problem with the 2pc split windshield flapping like crazy when it's opened? i have the rear soft panel and no roof, that might be part of it. once you get over 20mph, it's starts shaking like crazy........

Mine doesn't move much at all. I do have a hard roof and soft back.

I also have a hard roof and soft back. The flopping starts above 40mph pretty bad.

Yes mine does this as well; when closed I would get chatter then I installed neoprene seal on the bottom and the chatter stopped once closed still flaps when open.

if i reach out and touch it, it stops, but shortly after i let go it goes nuts again. very flimsy. for $579 or whatever it was, i'm pretty disappointed in it honestly.
