Take a look at the many types of nitrogen gas struts,LW1911. Using such will require a pivot point that allows the cylinder to apply pressure in both erected and retracted windshield position. I intend to use them for my installation.....

not a bad idea
Windshield showed up today, you sure don't mess around when you package fragile items do you. Incredible job of making it safe for its journey. Thanks again!
OK guys another question, is the windshield hinge bolted or riveted to upper tub?
"..not a bad idea..."
Actually.LW,it's a very good idea(lol)-feast your eyes on my recent most application of struts when I built this light weight dirtbike trailer. The struts are 70lb per rated,there fore requiring the weight of the bike to both extend and collapse;.hence no lifting or ramp needed.
Finding the proper pivot location is key,but there are so many struts of various lengths and pressures to help you get it just right. They're small,powerful,light weight and weather resistant.
Pretty slick
Looks good! I'm glad it made it safe and sound.
After Jim suggested I look at marine hardware to fabricate mounts for the windshield I scored from Jezzah, I started thinking. After a little research, and thanks to some posted photos to use as a guide, I ordered some bimini top hardware from Fleabay. I think my end result is a fair facsimile of the later style MaxII mounts.
Looks good, now for some rubber door stops/bumpers to lay the windshield on. The marine store may have them along with the snaps and strips that hold the windshield down. Again look through the gallery for what to find.
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.
Advice is free, it's the application that costs.
