I have a 2016.5 SL LE, and I've really come to like the windshield that came with it, tinted and angular, with no center post. I just wish it were 2" higher. Has anyone seen a kit or method of raising the windshield 2", or a like-stock aftermarket windshield that just sits taller? Same windshield on the 2017 SLRs too, if that matters.

Yeah, the ripper? Don't they make a taller version? Don't know if exactly 2"... Check the OEM Polaris accessory page or @FixMyToysZach could help...
I believe there are 3... Low, standard, and tall...

Yeah, the ripper. But they don't have the tinted version in the tall size, which is kinda what I want, since I have the tinted standard height right now. Although, I'm sure I could get the clear one tinted.

Mine are not tinted either. You could tint them!!
-
Oh... That's odd they don't do the others tinted as well... But yeah somewhere I saw someone who tinted successfully... Think they used the tail light lens tinting spray or maybe vinyl...

@KayTwo I have the stock blade and I have the twist and tilt. Willing to trade for a ripper.
I sit at just the right level to have it cut right through my vision
@SlingRider, that's the new one that's adjustable as you ride, yes? How do you like the operation and design? Does all the hardware in the center become a distraction? That's actually one of the things I like about my ripper windshield, the open dashboard. And how tall is your twist & tilt?
-
Yes it is the new one. I really like it and I do t notice the center stuff at all. It is slightly taller than the stock blade. I can measure it.
My problem is I am 6' and the way I sit it cuts right st my Lee level for looking at the road.I had low shields on my Harley and like that look Anyway.
As far as operation it is great. Decreases heat by drawing air up and over my head when open and helped quiet down the noise.

That is why I cut 2 1/2 inch off of the stock 2015 blade
