Ya I'm not sure I like them either, I keep switching back and forth lol. I found a used cat sno pro on eBay and snatched it up. Same one Ben had on his sidewinder last year.Dont like either of those at all...the "vertical look" of them from side throws off all the lines IMO....
I think if its cold and you need taller, the SE window is the only one that offers sexy looks with decent coverage. I am not and never have been a fan of anything painted solid, unless is below the ski tips. It messes up the peripheral vision more then you think, until you jump on a DOO.....Doo was smart in their clear handguards and mostly clear or very low windows, this offers a great sight line when riding....For me, and how we all ride, and my area...I am also sweating butt off so I want low but just enough to tuck behind on the gun.
I grabbed an SE window for coldest days, but will run stocker much of the time.

That Viper one with the paint on it. Actually looks better in person then in pics...I seen it here so many times and it really bothers me, LOL...But when saw Dons at the dealer, I thought it looked decent in real life....Ya I'm not sure I like them either, I keep switching back and forth lol. I found a used cat sno pro on eBay and snatched it up. Same one Ben had on his sidewinder last year.
I like the new LOW , and viper LOW, and Tcat is OK but sorta upright from side, but good with wind. But again I hate a painted that tall in front of me, messes with seeing around low, which seems like not needed but when you have it, it just makes it more open to ride.

I am looking into getting the new med sport shield you have on my Viper. Any chance you can measure the distance from the tip to the top along the front of the shield? My Viper med sport (SMA-8JR96--20-SM) measures close to 21" and I'm hoping the shield you have is a bit lower. Thanks very much

I just received a pro cross sno pro windshield I purchased used off eBay. That was a mistake lol, it is the white version, however it is faded to a beige. I love the look of it on the sled but I'll need to paint it. Has anyone painted the outside of a windshield with any success? I've painted the insides many times, I suppose it would scratch and expose the white underneath. On a positive note the seller has agreed to send me another one free of charge and I get to keep this one too.

Plastidip works well. lot tougher than most people think and super easy to red0 when needed. You just need to be ok with a matte finish.

Vinyl it....depending on the contour, it may be very easy.

I tried the Glossifier. Maybe it was the 2 cans I used - but I got a lot of orange peel using it. It didn't gloss it up as much as I expected either. The plastidip itself comes out nice and smooth, but after the Glossifier it had too much orange peel for me to be satisfied with it.
