Jiminy Christmas!!!!! $525 for windshield and gasket delivered? Ouch.

Thank you for the option. At least I have one now... better than no ideas at all. I'll do it if I have to, but man alive, surely there's a cheaper alternative. I'll hit up Ebay later tonight, too. Thanks again!

Anyone else got an ideeer?

Little bit cheaper, shipping is still a bear though.

Aha... I just found the same one. Thanks. It's still about $150 cheaper, so that's progress.

You could always swap to Lexan and save some weight.

[sopwith21]

Would love to but our class requires original glass

[Jeff G 78]

Gotcha. I run glass as well. My windshield is cracked, but the glass is clearer than my spare uncracked windshield, so I'll use the cracked one until it gets more pitted. They allow cracks as long as there isn't a structural weakness.

[sopwith21]

I ran with cracked glass for a long time, but last year they freaked out and demanded it be replaced. I asked them if uncracked aftermarket glass was as strong as OEM with a crack, and if aftermarket glass was the same gauge, weight and safety, and of course they had no clue.

Remember, it's not about safety... its about obedience.

I have a buddy in Indy that might have a windshield to sell you

[madkaw]

Oops, he's not selling.

I remember when I needed a windshield I went with safety lite glass or something and it was only 150$- that was a few years ago

Since no one else has mentioned it, Black Dragon has them in their catalog for $180 + $125 truck freight. Shouldn't take too long, they are in Kansas.

I bought one from this guy and had it shipped to me in hawaii. It survived because he did a heluva good job crating it. The

glass he sold was like brand new. he did a good job finding

the cheapest shipper too.

also might use car-part.com and look for dismantler in your area
