Does anyone have pictures of a roll cage installed with the viewfinder windshield? What did you do with the front bar that is usually set back to be out of the way of the wiper motor? Do you move it closer to the windshield frame? How much room do you need to get to the bolts for the tops?

Thanks,
Wade

I don't have my Viewfinder installed yet (it's been in the shed for about 10 years now waiting on me) but I plan to run my current cage with it. My current setup already has the wipers on the bottom of the frame so my bar is already pretty close to the existing windshield frame. I can take a picture if you'd like.

I would leave it as is if your cage is already built. I have moved my wipers down on my build and when I had the cage built, opted to leave the bar back so my visors would flip all the way up against the headliner.

I don't have the frame WH sells but do have one similar. My bar is pretty tight to the frame. I don't have any good pics but could take some tonight.

Thanks, any pics would be appreciated. I haven't bought/made a cage yet. I'm trying to decide which way to go.

It is a windshield that makes it easier for tall guys like myself to see out, especially to see traffic lights without leaning down. :) It basically puts the wipers on the bottom and moves the windshield up. Pretty cool I just havent been able to justify the $1000 bucks for a complete conversion. Very cool piece though.

I like it but the 1000 bucks stops the plans for that anytime soon!
