No worries with Ryfab. Great windshield.

 

Take a look at ISOTA Offroad, this is on my 800 but they make them for the XP1k also. Great windshields, with some of the largest glass area available. ISOTA has a website launch discount going on windshields, roofs and cargo boxes. Discount Code is WLD

Ryfab is great. The vent works really well when the windshield is up and I have rode many miles with windshield down with no issues.

 

I have SXS Windshields front and rear windows on mine, they're very well made and fit great. Ventilated Windshields | Polaris Razor Windshield | General Windshield

 

I live in Partridge KY. Close to Putney and Black Mountain. Does anyone with a ryfab windshield live in this area so I could come see it and have a hands on look? Please call me at 352-636-4926

Can't beat the Ryfab. Nothing else offers as much and it is an awesome windshield with no downsides.

 

With these Ryfabs, are the standoffs that hold the windshield folded down onto the hood gonna catch on tree branches and break or worse damage plastics?

And when the windshield is folded down, how fast can you really go, can I blaze down a whoop section or just slow trail ride.

I'm about ready to bite, Ryfab has a sale until the 9th and it seems like a good deal.

 

I have never caught my stand/offs brackets on anything. They attach to part of the frame and are pretty solid. I suppose it could happen but doesn't seem too likely.

When the window is down it is pinned and pretty solid. It doesn't bounce around.

 

When the ryfab windshield is lowered it has a pin keeping attached to standoffs.

 

I absolutely love my ryfab.

 

Ryfab is the most versatile windshield I have seen. No downsides

 

Best windshield. Ever. Be sure to get the vent that open up

For those of you with the ryfab, is it worth having the windshield fold all the way down or does the vents keep out most of the dust?

 

When it gets hot you will appreciate that fold down windshield. We have ours 4 years now.

I usually have the winshield down unless rainy or cold.

 

I have a General. Looking for pros and cons of the Super ATV Flip UP windshield. Anyone have it?

 

Have it on my RZR’s. Only thing I dont like is the latch. It takes two hands and quite the effort to pop the latch out of its clamp

 

Just make your own.

 

Im looking for the "best" option out there too. Just like anything else, it appears the "best" recommendation that im seeing here is also the most expensive! I have the 1000s and it looks like around $510 for the Ryfab. Anyone have any better pricing on Ryfab? Another option is Polaris OEM @ $399! What is better the Ryfab or Polaris?

I live in Michigan and Im looking for an option similar to the Ryfab or Polaris due to the unpredictable weather conditions here. I can take off on a ride in the morning and it might be 35 degrees and within hours it might be 90!

Having the fold down or open is a MUST because there have been times that I got so hot I almost ripped my windshield off and thrown it in woods to later go pick it up, and I have removed 1/2 windshield in middle of a ride and strapped it down in the back -- So a fold down, or No window at all is the way Im leaning.

I can handle the cold and rain much better than excessive heat. I wish there was a total stow away option, either all on (rain and cold) or all open (airflow!)

Just got mine just a couple days ago. I might install it this weekend but we got that 60* day coming Tuesday so might do it then. I will let you know what I think.

I did the DIY plexi/acrylic type window for a Rocks and Valleys trip a month ago. I found out a couple things, first thing I found out is I love a windshield it's awesome.

2nd thing I found out is these plastic windows are a safety hazard. Why I say safety hazard, is because they do get mud and dust on them. Then at the end of the day when the sun is low and in your eyes you cannot see through the windshield. The solution would be to wipe it off, but you can't because your gonna scratch the hell out of it. I hit a tree at Rocks and Valleys because of this, slightly because I'm dumb, but I'm 95% blaming the windshield!

So, definitely get a glass windshield if your a northeast trail rider. And like you said it gets hot, so you probably want one that flips up/down or removable. Flip up/down seems perfect, but you gotta figure any windshield that flips up/down is going to be a rattling piece of shit. What do you do? Buy the most expensive one, even though its twice as much as you want to spend and hope it's as good as everyone says.

Its also better then buying a windshield, end up not liking it, then buying another one a yr or 2 later, and in the end spending $510 on sub par windshields.

Like I said I will let ya know my initial (not trail proven) opinion in the next couple days.

 

I've used the kolpin windshield on my 800S and my 1000S . I really like it. Full windshield when you want it, removable without tools, and the half keeps the dust out.

 

trick440, I'm assuming you got the Ryfab? I know exactally what your saying about the rattling, noisy, howling acrylic windows because that is the pain in the ass one I have now (1/2 windshield) and it is mostly useless and slides up and down the frame tubing, scratching it all over hell.. all this bs because I was trying to compromise on full windshield vs no windshield for reasons noted in post.

Let me know how yours works out, and where did you get it at? Thanks

I ended up going with sxswindshield.com. Best price over compared ryfab. Fred the owner was awesome to deal with. Nothing against the ryfab, I just didn't like the ryfab fold down design. To each his own. If I want to take it off, the sxswidshield only takes a couple of minutes. Glad I went that direction. I was going to do the super atv flip up, but glad I went with glass so it doesn't scratch.

 

I have Ryfab Windshields. I usually have the best deal on them and stock them also.

You can’t go wrong with Ryfab. A little expensive but worth it. I thought a vendor had them for 450 right now.

 

Installed most the the Ryfab windshield today. It went slower then I hoped due to the roof needing to be removed, wiring needed to be removed that ran though the rollcage frame and some alignment issues.

The alignment issue wasn't major, but frustrating. I think the weld on the cage was interfering with the lower bracket mount and making the window slightly tilted. Very slightly tilted, like 1/8" - 1/4", I re adjusted 3 times with little or no improvement. It's so slight no one would notice. Its also not anything negative about Ryfab, just a dumb issue I had, windshield folds up and down with no problems.

Construction seems great, it also looks pretty cool.

One thing I noticed is the XP1K windshield sits over the dash panel. The lower panel on Ryfab opens and allows room to remove that dash panel. I would guess if you have a windshield without this feature you could not remove the dash panel without removing your windshield.

I still have to install the hood support brackets and give it a test run. B+ so far.
