Thought about them myself manytimes..I decided to ger a soft enclosure for winter riding and plowing.  The enclosure is great in the cold, but has made me realize, that doors in the nice weather would be a oain in the a$$.  Doors make it more difficult to get in and out, and I use mine for utility work around my property. To each his own, but once you have spent the money, I think it would become a regreted expense.

Doors are a hindrance to anything that looks like work. Our UXV500i had some pretty nice nylon strap nets over the entry that have been discarded because they were a PITA! Doors would be worse.

I would like a door on the passenger side only, I rarely have a passenger, more often cargo that wants to fall out

"Got my Dad a 450i, and he wants doors on his 450i...."

The defense rests, your honor.

If you're considering doors, I'd highly recommend taking a look at the offerings from Off-Road Body Armor. I don't have his doors, but I have his roof, bumper and rock slider rails on my 2018 UXV 450 and am very happy with the products. Plus, Kurt, the owner, is great to deal with. I am considering getting a set of his doors in the future. He offers two versions for this machine, solid metal and perforated metal. So, I would imagine the perforated versions allow for some additional airflow.

Another nice thing about these doors, as best as I can tell, is that they are made to be removed very easily simply be taking out a couple pins. So, you can have them on the machine when you want (winter/cold/riding with kids, etc.) and have them off when you want.

Anyway, check them out. If nothing else, certainly an option that should be on your list. He recently updated his website to www.offroadarmor.com (http://www.offroadarmor.com) and I don't see those doors there. But I am sure it's worth a call or email to see if he still has them.

To add to my post, once installed, Kurt’s doors can be taken off in a second. Literally.
