scottyr Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) The stock X windshield is too low for me at 6ft tall. It directs the wind right into my chin and my helmet is forced upwards with the wind giving me a sore neck after a couple of days of riding. The medium windshield looks acceptable and works really good. My 22 XRS will have one on it the day I pick it up (with mirrors).

scottyr Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The handguards JUST touch the windshield at full extension and I have an XRS with the more forward steering post. I am not the least bit concerned about the guards touching the w/shield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was either drop $1 or $2K on a suspension upgrade on the 2013 Vector LTX, or buy a BRP REN X ACE Turbo R, 1.5 Ice Ripper ,which by my calculations may be close to 100lbs lighter than my Vector LTX. Dealer gave me a good price for my Yamaha VSTAR 1300 Tourer trade in. Dealer (Loiselle Sports in Embrun ON) 2022 sled sales is over 300 units so far, and still selling. (Not sure how he is going to assemble 300 sleds in a timely manner in the fall?) I'm hoping the 1.5 track and lighter sled will avoid being stuck like this (which is me standing on my ruptured quad tendon (still unknown at that point) just after the roll-over) . I remember that happened in Matane. I was there a few days later after returning from a trip around New Brunswick where we were caught in that blizzard. Amazing what we made it through on the way back up to Gaspe. I ordered the same machine. Hope everyone loves them. My first NOTACAT since 1998. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have the same windshield and mirrors on my '22 Renny 900T R flavor also..You can mount and use the small round mirrors from doo onto the handguards. There are scribbed mounting Locations on the handguards to drill the holes. I have ordered my first NOTACAT since 1998 and it is like those you have ordered. (XR-S Renegade Turbo 900 R) I cannot figure out if a "mid to high" adjustable windshield can be fitted on a wide body 4-stroke. I like the option when it is real cold, but like the looks of the mid size otherwise. Then all the deflectors and such plus how the mirrors mount are what i am trying to put together. Seemed that all I could find was that a "low to mid" adjustable was available? Maybe someone can help me figure this out. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will likely be doing the same with my 2022. Scott @AC+YAlook at this picture Blake posted. That windshield will fit both narrow body and wide body G4 doos. 600, 850 and 900's.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Or, if you want fixed, here is the medium on my '21 XRS 900T, or the Tall windshield on my FIL '21 Renny X 900T. With mirrors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 @Spanky, hopefully these pictures are good enough to show you the cockpit. This is my '21 Renny XRS 900T. With Medium Height windshield and mirrors and side deflectors that are needed for that windshield and mirrors. Feel free to ask for a different picture etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The handguards don't interfere with your vision to the mirrors? Could just be the angle of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 @AC+YA this is how the side deflectors and mirrors mount. The side deflectors are screwed to the sides of the windshield, and push/pull grommet on the side of the hood cowling. Mirrors are screwed to side deflectors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 @Spanky and @AC+YA This is the difference between a 'stock ' X height windshield, and the medium height windshield, for measurement sakes always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanky Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Turbo Doo (and anyone else who might have the Pilot TX skis), do you run the OEM 4" or the 7" carbide on them? Studded or Ice Ripper XT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) If you ordered a X or XRS, or Mach Z, the sleds come with the adjustable riser. With the medium windshield and handguards, and the riser in the most forward position, you can see there is no interference with the handguards and windshield or mirrors. I had the handle bars cranked all the way to turn. Edited April 1, 2021 by Turbo Doo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 @Spanky this picture should give you a idea from sitting on the sled the view at the mirrors and handguards from a seating position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
