Anyone have a windshield on their Sportsman? If so, do you have a Polaris brand or aftermarket? Any recomendations? I know the new 2005 Polaris ones are real nice but they won't work on my 2004. Happy Holidays!!

I found it at: www.valecsport.com

It doesn't have any prices though.

I'm running the Pure Polaris Lock and Ride windshield...the windshield isn't the thickest material, but I've had mine at 60 mph with no problems....the big advantage, you can put it on in 30 seconds and take it off in 15 seconds....

Here's a couple of pictures of my 2004.5 500 HO with a windshield, it the Polaris High version. Its tough, You can be smackin branches with it at 25 mph and not crack it, my brother leaned it on its side and only popped a grommet out, easy fix with the screw driver in the tool kit. Other atv's spitting rocks at you, no problem. Keeps a lot of wind off you while riding, protects your hands, protects you from other atv's throwing rocks at you. Sometimes a little tough to see through, and takes a little getting use to driving with one on but its more help than hinderance

I'm running the MTV fairing (Motovan) because I like having the rear view mirrors. I do have a complaint with this one though. I had to re-glue all the black plastic edging that surrounds the fairing and the windshield. It all started coming off after the first ride. I e-mailed Motovan but they did not reply. Also, when they say do not trailer over 60 KPH believe them. My windshield now has a curve that it didn't come with. Now I take it off when I have to trailer it. I saw the Valec Sport unit installed on a Sportsman at the dealer after I bought mine. It looked and seemed to fit a lot better around the gauge pod. Can you get them with the rear view mirrors?
