I am looking for a windshield for my polaris sportsman for ice fishing this season. Any recommendations on where to get one at a decent price? The dealer ones look nice but are not cheap either. Thanks!

If you have a 2005 or newer sportsman get the Polaris Lock N Ride windshield ($120) very easy on and off. You get what you pay for.

I have a 700 King Quad, I picked up a factory one and am glad I did.My friend got one off the net for a lot less, but it lasted one trip across the lake. You get what you pay for. Just my thought!!

Hey SomethingFishy -

I see in your photos that you have the lower profile windshield on your Polaris. I may not be remembering correctly, but didn't you have the high profile windshield when we rode last January (or whenever that was)?

I'm looking at a windshield to use while plowing, to cut down on the spray etc. Seems like the high profile would be the way to go.

Any thoughts?

A lock and ride will fit on your 04, I just put one on my buddies last spring. The polaris ones are the best.

We have both the Tall clear windshield and also the shortblack one as well. We keep a windshield on year round.

I agree with getting the windshield from Polaris. My dad has one and it's a good, sturdy unit. It's not cheap, but it can be taken off and put on in under 30 seconds which is nice for transporting to and from the lake.
