Does anyone know if Cat & Yamacat windshields are interchangeable? Or are there slight differences?

Interchangeable
4-stroke YamaCat windshields fit Yamaha. If I remember correctly, the 2-stroke windshields have a slightly different hole pattern.

I spent some time comparing pics of comparable Cat and Yamaha sleds (yes, I know, I need to get a life), and it turns out that there are some slight differences between the windshields on many of them. My Viper STX-DX has a big azz windshield (ugly, but warm) that is almost identical to the one on the same year Pantera, except the Viper one hangs slightly lower and mounts differently towards the rear.
The reason for all of this research is, the STX-DX windshield is backordered (probably forever), but the Pantera one is in stock. I'll probably just buy the Pantera one and make it work!

What you said is true but, Yammi streamlined the product and no longer incorporates the Viper back end that drops down and attaches to the hood. They make them all to fit the Sidewinder and Viper the same way. Kinda sucks cause that deflector had a nice purpose.spent some time comparing pics of comparable Cat and Yamaha sleds (yes, I know, I need to get a life), and it turns out that there are some slight differences between the windshields on many of them.

Well, that's a bummer. The original deflector style worked great. Oh, well, I'll just need to add another layer under my jacket!What you said is true but, Yammi streamlined the product and no longer incorporates the Viper back end that drops down and attaches to the hood.

Thanks for the information.
