<p>Hi Tim,</p>
<p>I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "low profile windshield". The canopy is already as low as possible because the headroom is not much as is. I made a change to the rear of the canopy which may be something like you intend. Mainly, I cut it off and put a raised turtleback on behind. That makes the rear canopy seal tighter although longer. You also get larger volume for stuff behind the seat. You can't carry more, but it is easier to get to. This change weighed 3 lbs more…</p>

There should be some aerodynamic advantage too.</p>
