Is there any reason I shouldn't get the Windshield from the ManxStore? I have to get some other things from there and I was thinking about shipping might be cheaper on multple items.

If you're still a ManxClub member, it may be less expensive to go through the ManxStore.

I believe they all come from Dino anyway.

Membership ran out in July, all things that I'm buying I can add the membership to the order and save a couple of bucks, with the discount (now that's funny).

Thats just my two cents :)

I bought mine directly from Dino. I had it custom made 3" taller then normal and with shipping it was still significantly cheaper then retailers I checked with. It may be cheaper to go directly to the source.

Like UncleBob said, Dino makes all the windshields anyway.

I bought some items including a windshield from the manx store a few months ago, they want combine shipping with the windshield, it is shipped by greyhound - less breakage - good point it arrived about 3 days after ordering it, the other items took about a week longer, wish they would have shipped it all greyhound.

I just got my windshield today from Dino, 3" chopped version. Excellent workmanship and very reasonable in price. Was shipped by FedEx clear across the country and no damage, but it was packaged exceptionally well.

Thanks again to you Murzi! I appreciate you suggesting purchasing from Dino.
