Tow their sxs backwards. In particular I am interested to know if anyone has a problem with their windshield. I have a 1/2 windshield on my cat and when I use my small trailer I have to pull on the trailer backwards and I'm wondering what highway speeds will do to polycarbonate. In put please.

The windshield is why I haven't ever towed mine backwards. You may want to contact the mfg. of your windshield for direction.Or look into quick release mounts so you can remove it for towing easily.

I would say that the half windshield is likely to be damaged if you pull it backwards. It is designed to receive the air from the front. The air pushing it from behind could possibly crack it.

My half windshield came off with 4 thumb screws in 5 mins? If you are that concerned (I wouldn't tow it backwards with it on) just take it off / put on when you get there can't take that long.

I've seen folks haul their RZRs backwards on really short trailers. I figure it helps with weight distibution if there's not enough tongue weight.

That's it my trailer is a 10 footer and the cat is light in the nose. So the trailer does the shimmy shake if I drive on Forwards. My windshield is a bit of a pain to remove but I may have to do it.
