I'm now convinced that I need a windshield. Pretty much sold on glass. Been snooping around and so far the Polaris super expensive version seems to have the best overall visibility. The Tusk style ones seem to have a ballistic type frame that pbly creates blind spots. Before I spend a small fortune, does anyone have opinions either way?

I got the Polaris one and it has great visibility. Smallest frame I’ve seen. It fits ok, but hard to find aftermarket wiper for the 1000 xp. Which I believe the trail has a similar design

Do you have an installed pic?. Trying to figure out if the polaris one will work with my aftermarket mirrors. Thanks

Once it's on you don't notice the frame so much. I like flat glass so you can get it replaced at a glass shop if need be.SxS windshields(Fred Mower) makes a nice windshield.

Flat glass windshield---make an angle iron frame--go to a glass shop that does windshields/windows for equipment(loaders)etc, get a rubber "gasket" and get them to cut you a windshield. When they cut windshields for equipment they have to cut from a corner of the glass that has the certification standard on it. That leaves pieces of windshield glass with no certification on it. I typically can get a windshield for $10/15 CAN for my TJ jeep The gasket will be the pricey part. Make brackets on the frame to mount to your roll bar/cage.

May think about that idea.

Here is a solution.

I agree with DogRunner2- Fred makes great windshields-
@Timswi - I have sold 100's of his windshields and never has a complaint-
He is not a big company- and has been doing Windshields for over 10 years.

I run mirrors and his windshield, and wings when trail riding, and easily removed when doing Moab.

Ordered the stupidly expensive Polaris glass w/s. Hope it holds up for $800.

The Polaris version seems to have the most field of vision compared to the aftermarket.

Good looking rig..
What does the rear window add to having a front only ? (just curious)
