P1000 Windshield ?

[elkguide]

So....... is the $100 difference in the hard coat poly windshield vs the glass windshield worth the money? I guess the question should be which windshield do you guys prefer?

I have the hard coat split. I like that in spring and fall I can open it a bit and vent the dust it causes. And in summer I can remove the top section and still have a lower windshield.

It all is a personal preference. Depends on if you mind staring through scratches. I know some members on here have been working on making vents for the glass one. Ive had my hard coat plastic one since last sept. Its got a few good scratches and at this rate it might last a year befor i cant take it any more.

I haven't bought one yet, but IF I were buying today, I'd get glass for the cold wet times, and run without a windshield the other 9 months (here in Mississippi)

I had a 1/2 on my P500 and I hated the dust storm it caused to your dash and in your eyes.

Glass for me. No scratches.

Honda hard coat split is what I have works good but you have to clean it correctly and don't plow through the woods like a boldozer.

All my scratches have came from low hanging branches on a trail. Not just out " bull dozing"

This is the windshield I went with..

Honda Pioneer 1000 Scratch Resistant Flip Windshield

It's cheaper than the Honda and allows ample air flow. I'd love to have one like it in glass.. but there isn't one that operates like this in glass. I want to have the option of a windshield at all times but be able to open it fully when I want the wind in my face or to shoot out of!

I've had them both.

I'll never ever go back to anything that isn't glass. It's worth every penny.

I have the Honda glass windshield. I like it, just wish it vented.

Totally agree. It's all personal preference. I just installed the 2 piece hard coat poly, only for ease of removal in summer time. Would have loved the glass, but the poly is easy enough for the wife and kids to remove when I'm out to work. They prefer no top and no windows...i prefer to be dry in the event the weather changes, which in northern Michigan, is a common occurrence. Best of luck in your search.

Btw, anyone adding vents (even though the 2 piece flips out, it's not enough to make a difference), add some pics of your mods so we can see how ya did it.

I just installed the wind deflector or 1/2 windshield. Haven't had it out yet, but here in AZ im not sure i would use a full. But if i did i would prob want glass.

As wet as it is here or as cold as it is in the winter, (5* right now) a full windshield is in order.

I say who needs a windshield

We have bigger bugs here!

Vermont's bugs are no match for some good southern skeeters. Ours taste better

I have the glass windshield you linked. The tip out feature is a must for me to keep dust down. I like it so far but haven't taken it on any long rides yet. it also completely removes with just 2 bolts.

I have the poly windshield on my 500 and it's getting pretty scratched up. Driving towards the sun is not fun.

You should try them fried in Maple syrup!
