February 14, 201411 yr Author comment_441625 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?

February 14, 201411 yr comment_441645 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.

February 14, 201411 yr Author comment_441648 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.

February 14, 201411 yr comment_441666 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.
