That windshield is surprisingly well rounded. It protects quite a bit from wind. I have the same one and I have no complaints. After coming off a SKidoo this has a lot more protection.

194.6 miles after the rebuild and all is well! 
Went for supper at our river hill warm up shack with a few great friends!
The way down to the river.
My buddy and his girl were breaking in their BRAND NEW Poo's, 1 km on each before we set out!
It was just an all around awesome day of sledding!!

So far, so good.. knock on wood. Might need to check my exhaust donuts though, seemed to be getting a little loud last night. Any CDN's know if there's a dealer / distributor for the copper rings up here?
We rode about 80 miles yesterday, great conditions but it did dip down to -31c late last night. It was cold coming home.. -23c / -33c with the wnd chill, at the moment.

Hey guys, I haven't been posting much because I've been riding!! We had about 12" of fresh powder fall today and it made for amazing riding!! I'm learning, though, that I need to be more conscious of the weight of this machine. Twice today the sled just fell off of the trail in deep powder and there was NO stopping it. Once, I had the skiis turned up a drift and they just skidded along it and sank the nose into the ditch beside the trail. These Tuner skiis have ZERO keel, so I'm thinking thats part of the reason, the other is that I don't know how to weight the thing to combat it's tippiness. I'm learning..
Edit: Oh, I hit 870 miles today since the build!!
