Has anybody used an aftermarket windshield on their Scrambler? I want to get one for riding in cold weather but the Polaris one is all most twice the price of an aftermarket. I just want to know if the fit is that much better to warrant spending the extra money.

It looks awful.
Don't know much more about it.

 

Are you refering to the Scrambler windshield in the new "01" accessories book? It has the scrambler graphics and looks pretty sharp as far as windshields go.

 

The only Polaris one I've seen was reffered to as a Mid Height Windshield as far as I know. It costs about $130 can. I can buy aftermarket for about $70 can. I wonder if the Polaris one is really that much better.
P.S. I know they are all ugly but I'd rather be ugly than frozen when the temps go down below freezing!

 

Any handle bar mounted Cycle windshield would work, you can pick up a used one at any Bike repair shops for about $25 up here. Its worth checking, you might find one that looks good.

RobCulp,

I have a handle bar mounted after market windshield on my 2001 SP 500 HO. I don't much like the looks but I live in the northeast and a windshield is a must. I wanted to beable to remove the windshield quickly for warm days and tight trail riding plus I have to remove it to put the machine in my enclosed trailer so I came up with a quick disconnect system. The windshield came with c style clamps, I went to the local hardware store and bought smaller SS bolts and a furniture bolt that fit in the c clamp backwards, this left about 1" of threads exposed, the windshield had two loose arms that I had to drill and bolt together to keep them stiff. Now all I have to do is pop the windshield over the 1" thread on both sides and screw on a wing nut. It takes 10 seconds to remove or install the windshield when I need it.
