12 and 13 windshields are exactly the same except 13's got more color options. I've got a black one on my 12 retro that I would like to trade you for your white one but Mamma got in there before me, fair and square. If she doesn't take it PM me.

I switched from skidoo to a pro last year I did some farmer trading so I told my self if I didn't like it my wife could have it. So... The first couple of rides I like a lot of things about it but, it was so different and tippy. After 3 rides are started to fall in love with the responsiveness and clutching. Than I was stubborn and couldn't admit to liking it better than the skidoo. So I hopped on a friends etec and that's when I noticed right away the things I liked better with the pro. The throttle felt held back on the skidoo and not as responsive. Than I did a side hill and for got how much you have to counter steer vs the pro would seam to float better making ski's ride straighter less chance to snag buried and hold a straighter line. The pro did seemed under powered to the etec though but the fricken thing keeps going. I raced a few etec's on a lake on perfect new snow conditions and it was so close to the doo's believe it or not I actually would pull a sled length away on hole shot but could never really Gain anymore. mid and top end where bang on. A local sled shop in town dinoed a few pro's and ya polaris pro 800 couldn't even get over 130hp! I was discouraged but it was still fun. This year I got that mod shop to give me a 35Hp gain so this year should be fun!!!
