  1. I will contemplate something else when they make a better rig than the Can Am. Your HD10 is a dream set up for someone like me that has to endure 6 solid months of winter (Vermont). Sometimes the grass isn't always greener...
  2. Great that you avoided a trip to the dealership!
  3. Following this thread for the outcome. I hope that it's an easy fix.
  4. Looks great!!!. I have a RAM Mount in my Tundra to hold a Garmin GPS since the factory navigation isn't that great. Yes, there are endless possibilities with these mounts.
  5. Thanks . I appreciate you taking the time to give feedback. My Defender will mostly be used around the yard and for plowing in the winter so it won't be exposed to branches and rocks and such that could damage it. It appears that the poly windshield might be okay for what I need.
  6. Thanks. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on this stuff and it seems pretty legit.
  7. It's good to get an honest perspective. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I hope that business at your campground is good this summer despite the challenges we are facing. In my area of the north west part of Vermont there are several campgrounds that depend on tourism from Canada that are struggling due to the border being closed until June 27.
  8. Thanks bro for the detailed reply. Is it possible that in some way things are more expensive in Canada because you guys have more government funded social programs than we do? Anyhow, I live in St-Albans, Vermont and the Quebecers rent mailboxes at the UPS Store here in town and have packages shipped there. They must then somehow bring them back across the border "discretely".
  9. Thanks bud for posting your experience withs the poly windshield. I'm not sure why our Canadian friends seem to pay double the cost of an item that you would get in the USA. I watched a couple of youtube videos of how to polish out scratches on polycarbonate/lexan windshields with good results as long as the scratches aren't too deep.
  10. I appreciate and value all the comments and advise so far. $1230 plus tax... Santa is going to shit his red trousers when he gets my wish list this year!!!
  11. Even the OEM Can Am hard coat poly flip out windshield is $885. I wonder if the quality of the polycarbonate of the made in the USA Super ATV flip out windshield is the same as the OEM Can Am?
  12. Thanks guys for your replies. The Can AM flip out glass windshield is $1230 OUCH!!! The Super ATV hard coat "scratch resistant" poly flip out windshield is $625. That's a $605 difference between the glass and poly which is a hard pill for me to swallow.
  13. I forgot to mention that this would be for my 2020 Defender HD8.
  14. There is a significant ($260) price difference between these 2 windshields. The Super ATV windshield mounts via some Velcro straps which seems convenient but I'm wondering how this method will hold up over time. It's advertised as 1/4" hard coat polycarbonate and Made in the USA. I suspect that the OEM windshield is of good quality but is it worth the price difference? Any thoughts/comments? Thanks.
  15. Thanks for the quick reply. I did call the dealer and after a little research was able to determine that the 3 modes are incorporated into the cluster even on my base model. This is why it's important to read the owner's manual 📖.
  16. I have a 2020 base model HD8 and want to add the 3 mode switch (Normal/Work/Eco) P/N 715004445. I checked under the dash and there isn't a plug available. There is a small bundle of zip tied wires with male ends but no square connector that would work with the switch. Any ideas. Thanks.
  17. Excellent attention to detail Bob. Love it!!! 👍
  18. Hey guys. I will be adding a winch to my 2020 HD8. There is a positive and negative post/stud under a cover up front (under the hood). Does anyone know what size nut I need to secure the winch cable terminals? The parts guy at my dealership had no clue and the BRP online manual shows the terminals but no sizing. BTW this is my first post. Happy to be a part of the Defender community. Thanks for any help. -Andy in St-Albans, Vermont.
