All,

Anyone tow their pioneer on an open trailer backwards, I have a hard mid panel and a windshield and hard top. Just wondering what I am risking...

If it's Honda glass windshield then no problem. We've towed without the hard panel just fine. Hard panel wouldn't care. Not sure about the other front windows.

I'm not positive then on that one (ours is one piece) but I'd assume if it was open you'd be fine.
Someone with a two piece for advise?

I have the Honda two piece hard coat windshield and tow my 1000 loaded backwards without any problems, I do tilt the window open though. Cant help on the rear window though.

OK thanks for the info...the mid panel does have a slider I can open...maybe that will help

I think if you open the slider you'll be fine.

Is your rear window from Honda? I'm going to have to put something on mine. Like a lot of the country it's bad dry here and even with the front window open I get covered with dust. No way I could ride it with a solid front window or a split window open.

Yeah I had the soft panel and I didn't like it so I got the hard mid panel....
