There's 4 pics will try more. I made my own two piece windshield for my RTV500 with sloping windshield posts. I wanted two piece so I can remove or tilt the bottom piece during the summer for wind cooling. The two pieces of 12"x44" Lexan cost around $50 for both pieces.(Should have been about an inch wider for easier install and holes further in from edge of Lexan glas) It can be cut or was cut with a circular saw Porter Cable like the one I own. I drilled the holes with a $9 for three step down/up bits from Amazon and the same bit I used to drill my tractor bucket to add a tooth bar. I'll now try more pics.

This is the light I'm going to install on the black space between headlights when the longer bolts arrive. Behind the black "Grill" a few inches is another plastic liner so have to go thru both layers and wire for headlights is right there so can (Hopefully) turn off and on with headlight switch, If not I have a full fused switched wiring harness.

I had to redo the lower pane because the hood wouldn't open so I tilted it in and hooked it over dash rim and fastened with zip ties. I may take it off during the summer and if so will use zip ties in all 4 holes. The mirrors were ordered off ebay for around $14 for two and now $24 from the same place and I also bought these for $19 for other RTV but haven't installed yet.

Well, that's not going to win any beauty contest, that's for sure... lol

Glad it's working out for you though, that's the most important part...
