NMKawierider,I think you got em. Thanks for your tireless efforts. 

Thanks all for the comments. Was fun but wouldn't do it again to save a few bucks. I did build a rear flip seat a few years ago for a golf cat, but again not really worth the effort. I like short projects though.

NMKawreider, did you notice the bunch of posts in Rules And Regulations about dating sites?

Finished up the windshields yesterday. Cost about $150 ish. Did not attempt to heat and bend the top 2 inches of the folding part to stiffen it up. Tried to heat bend on a piece of scrap but saw blisters, so added a piece of 2" aluminum at the top. Added trim molding around the lower and sides of the upper. Added a little stop in the middle on the dash for the lower half. This stops all buffeting from strong winds.

The consentious of this build: Jim and I are satisfied with what we accomplished. We had a lot of fun designing, fixing our errors and installing this windshield. We drank a bunch of beer, talked like we knew what we were doing, and decided that saving a hundred and fifty bucks per windshield was not worth the effort. We conclude that our best course of action was to buy and install a windshield, and spend the same amount of time that we spent on the build on drinking beer.

Welcome. Same here with my first side by side and bought a 2020 Uforce 500. Where are you in Arkansas the state I was born in. I still have finfolks in Drasco, Little Rock and around the Searcy area. Moved to Mi. in 1951, and retired to Florida in 2012. Glad to have you here. Lots of helpful and friendly members. Good luck with your Z, Stan

Hey, I am in the North West Corner (I Live in Springdale).  I'm close to the Ozark National Forest..Got lots of riding trails.

My Aunt and Uncle lived in Springdale, on Eidson Street. They are both deceased now.

Ferrous metal chips can be a mess to clean up so I use a magnet inside a plastic Wal-Mart grocery bag to attract them. When you get done, pull the bag back over the magnet and all the chips stay in the bag for disposal. Been using this for years and really helps contain them and a lot easier than trying to clean them off the magnet.

Not sure if other brands of grocery bags will work as well, although I did use a Winn-Dixie bag once and well, it worked ok.  LOL 

Yes. The flowers 💐 work better. Something about the colors against the black mess. That's just what I heard,I don't know for sure. 😂😂🥴🥴

We have some plates left over from a new years party. Will see if they might work. They are not as pretty as the ones you used though. LOL, thanks for the good tip Ponytail.

Heres another source. Tool and 100 pushpins about 12 bucks.

Great idea. Thanks for the info and photo. Do the flowery ones work better than the plain ones we have?LOL

Started to make our own turn signal using 3/4" LEDs. Got the lights mounted and wired on the rear, then strung the wire in a loom from rear to front yesterday. Will do the front turn signals this morning. Still waiting on a rocker switch. The humidity and heat combo yesterday was brutal. Jim and I have identiclal uforce 500s and decided to do our own turn signals and hazard build and have something to do. I'll post the progress and info if anyone is interested. The total should be less than 30 bucks. Stan

Finished adding turn signals for two Uforce 500s today. They are nice and bright. Now waiting for switches to make them hazard lights (4 way flashers). My buddys scooter took us two hours to install. Mine took about half of a day due to planning and installation.

Exactly what I saw before I joined this forum. Great ideas and info sharing.

My uforce 500 needs the same treatment. 3k to engage is a bit to much for an old codger like me. I understand somewhat about the power curve as we had to engage clutch at about 3500 on a Fuji 250 in order to get the sled to pull itself. After changing the comet clutch, the old Chapperelle with that peanut size engine would pull the skis off the snow at engagement.

Good start!
I also enjoy making my own stuff!
I did my windshield with a hinge as well.
I also used the scratch resistant plexi, more expensive but will last for years without scratches if cleaned properly.


Keep up the good work!

Nice ride and windshield. Lot of satisfaction in doing it yourself isn't it. Stan

Cut the Polycarbonate for Jim, my partner in crime's scooter. The poly cut easily with an 8 tooth saber saw blade. Clean cuts, no chipping. Am leaving the protective film on during the build. Cut both lower sections of the windsheilds. The living hinge just arrived at beer drinking time, so done for the day. Photo shows both our Uforce 500 carts and my neighbor
Bob's new yeller cart in driveway.

Started the build on a flip down windsheild for my Uforce 500. So far just started the template. Going to use 1/4" Polycarbonate, a living hinge, and whatever else it takes to get er done. Going to cost about half of buying one ready made, but I have the time and desire to build it. My buddy next door and I bought identical Uforce 500s about two weeks ago and he is my partner in crime on this. We bounce ideas off each other and usually come up with a workable  plan. Will be cutting the Polycarbonate on Saturday if it arrives.

Only saving about $100-$150 bucks, but love the challenge. The template is a better fit than the image shows. Will be using a soft rubber edge on the bottom to seal.
