Put the windshield back on today

Well , I put my windshield back on today.
i hated to , but with this forecast it might be chilly....
I really don't like a windshield , it rubs the paint off my roll cage,
and i don't like it. and they attract dust. but what the hell it keeps you
warmer. i put duct tape on the bars to keep it from rubbing the paint off.
and 2 layers of clear contact paper on the paint so it wont rub. So i am ready....

I'm with you chris, I also hate running with the windshield but I'm going to have to put in back on too to keep from freezing. I hate being cold more.I thought about putting my full doors back on and turning up my heater so I could wear my bermuda shorts and jesus sandals for this ride.

I will be running my half windshield for the same reason.

I even thought about wiring the fan on my intercooler up backwards to get a little heat off of it.

I put my rear one on last night.......I'm gonna be warm, since the weather is supposed to be in the 40s.

I got the Summitt Racing heater installed last weekend. The wife has bitched about it since last year. Need some doors to keep the heat in now.

What is the part number for it?

Do you install a valve to divert some of the water to the heater?

I installed my wiring harness so I can use my Gerbings heated socks, pants, jacket and gloves, just in case. I will also take plenty of ice in my cooler so my beer won't freeze.

At brimstone last year in JAN it was -5 degree's.
even with no ice in my cooler. all my water froze....
I had to wrap my water bottles in a towel to keep them from freezing....

You could have just put them close to your sac.

Up dated weather calls for Saturday in the 50s, Friday night in the 20s.

I have the mojave flex - a- lite heater from summit racing also. All of the coolant runs thru the heater, i spliced it in parallel. I installed a shut off valve for in the summer to keep from getting residual heat from it. However, back in June I caked my radiator full of mudd and was overheating so I opened up the shut off valve to the heater and it kept the rzr cool -- burnt my a$$ up, but the rzr was cool. I can tell you this heater is good! I have had it since I've had my rzr and it has taken alot of abuse---its been waterlogged and the fan keeps on blowing.

So youre saying you need to artificially enhance your SAC size?
