Honda Pioneer 500 - Home Made Custom Windshield

[@OldBearDiaz]

Nice job what thickness did you go with?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I think it was around 3 or 4 mm - as that's what I had lying around. Slightly thicker would be nice - but maybe a little harder to bend 👍

[@ze_german2921]

Nice Job! You could try next time to put a bend in the top of your windshield and you could eliminate the Aluminum altogether.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I did bend the edge and the aluminium was over kill - but we live and learn 👍 Great tip!

how did the windshield do here lexan scratches easy

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

It worked out well - Lasted the 3 years I had the P500. I bought a whole sheet so I had enough for 3 more if it got scratched. There are more expensive options with better scratch resistance but I figured it was cheaper to replace them, if they get damaged. Hope that helps!

Thanks Alan!

Nice looking job, should serve you well. Honda threw in a front storage tray when I bought my P500 so I opted for the half shield by UTV Windshields and Accessories. I can still access that storage without having to remove the half shield. Thanks for the part number on the sub harness, that'll make a much cleaner installation of the winch switch. Really enjoying your videos.

+mustang1191 The access to the front storage would be very nice. I have found another part number some kind person posted on hondasxs.com - 08R70-HL3-A00 - ROPS CLAMP (around 12$ each) that I can use for quick release on my windshield. The wiring harness is great for the money and makes life so much easier. Glad you are enjoying the videos :)

[@buletpoint]

job well done, if you place some solid rubber 1/4" blocks under the wind shield then zip tie it want vibrate:)

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

+buletpoint I will try that! I just changed the zip ties to velcro - I found out you need to remove the screen to open the hood :/

[@SWTBlazers]

You inspired me to make my own half wind shield. I used Lexan marguard which can be bent cold. I used Honda ROPS Clamps so can remove the wind shield in seconds. Ended up being pricey but half of what Honda would have charged (however they don't offer custom heights!).

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Great work! How did those clamps work out? I was looking at using them also but had to order them in. The velcro I use seems to be holding up well. The great thing is - to make another one is easy after the first, as the old one acts as a template :)

[@SWTBlazers]

The Emporium I think those clamps are the only way to go. They were pricey at $101 for 4 of them but they are a robust piece of kit and can be recycled whenever I change the Lexan. I did a little piece in the HondaSxS forum... 'DIY half windshield'.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Good to know - I'll make sure I take a look for the post!

[@orthotobi]

looks like it was a lot of work. Good job!

[@jo3lsilvaracidesigner946]

Nice job!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks - I'm very happy with the results even after a year!

[@jo3lsilvaracidesigner946]

Very Good!
