    If you use a smaller wiper you can make it wipe all the way to the passenger side so they could see too

    Great idea but I'm putting a shorter one, 12" instead of 16". That windshield seems too short for a 16" wiper as is mine.

    A previous owner put one of these on my Pioneer 500... in not quite the right spot. For the OEM hard-coat full sized windshield, the wiper blade is too short also. Despite all that, it's better than nothing.
    I've noticed, though, that if you have frost or ice on the windshield the wiper is pretty much useless, whereas a conventional wiper on glass will shave some fine frost off.
    So, I've got to figure out a way to remove frost from my windshield. A mechanical method, like a good old ice scraper, I'm sure will scratch. I also don't trust chemicals, like alcohol based ice melt, to not cloud up the polycarbonate. Plus, they don't work very well in extreme cold, although it's unlikely that I'll be driving this machine when it's properly cold. The installation of a cab heater may help, but my winter temperatures might render defrosting attempts somewhat marginally successful on all but the warmest winter day, where frost is less likely anyway.
    Other comments mention the use of velcro to keep the wiper blade out of the way when not in use. Mine has a fairly decent amount of spring force holding it against the windshield. I never had any issue with it moving under trail conditions.... And your ride MUST be softer than my OEM first generation P-500 (I have different than OEM tires, but they're still pretty harsh. New tires and shocks are on the wishlist, but my wallet has to catch up).

    Question does the wiper itself stay put where you leave at ? Like it doesn’t vibrate down or falls towards the middle of windshield. As well does the wiper stop at half way through the windshield or can you rotate it towards the passenger side as well ?

      It stays put and I can rotated clear around and get the other side as well

    I installed mine on my 2019 X2. Mines a flip down windshield social installed it on the lower side. The blade fits perfectly in the fold down groove. I put 2 big zip ties through the fold down slot . It holds the blade in position while riding. Out of view and works great. Got my Blade from Amazon as well but I think mines a little different. But very similar

    I bought one for mine a while ago, haven't put it on yet lol. I regret it every time I ride. I may mount mine on the bottom though

  • @1GregCB

    Thinking about buying one but let me ask you this does it stay upright when you're riding the trails or hit any bumps or does it slide down that's my question for you?

    • @AppalachianMountainRiders
      @AppalachianMountainRiders  6 місяців тому +1

      At first it stayed up but it’s loosened over time and now will slowly creep down with harsh bumps…lol. I’m afraid to tighten it much more then I have.

    $4 to $500 for that windshield? Dude, you got ripped off! Great deal on the wiper but probably needs a shorter arm for max effect.(I know, were all F-n know it alls)

  • @Pascal-fj2cq
    @Pascal-fj2cq 3 роки тому +1

    Si c est comme le miens il va finir par descendre tout seul en roulant, j ai du mettre un velcro pour tenir la poignée en haut !!

    • @AppalachianMountainRiders
      @AppalachianMountainRiders  3 роки тому

      Velcro is a great idea to keep it in place if it wants to fall while I’m riding. I went for a ride last night and it stayed up but I wasn’t riding hard or fast.

    Put it down at the bottom like on your car

      Not a good idea on a SxS that sees a lot of woods riding or just a SxS in general. A lot of debris will collect on the blade then scratch up your windshield like crazy when you go to use it!
