If it breaks fairly easy then I might look into a Lexan one.

I'm afraid to inform you that Lexan wouldn't pass safety. Main windshield has to be shatter and tempered glass. Remember, lexan is part of the acrylic family and doesn't shatter on impact (hockey arena's use them) Therefore if an accident was to happen (God Forbid) the lexan windshield would be a brick wall for anyone.
Now you can use it for visors, wings, rear wind deflectors......but a windshield has to be GLASS,..we can't just go making up our own replacements. This is one of the many reasons why Govt. globally want to thin us out. we need to stay with in code.
