Haha nice. Yeah TGM has a pretty good wrap around windshield to see out of and it appears the side/back ones are good enough to see out of. It's more or less i am up high enough that i don't see the little rice cookers next to me.

Id like a manual but odds of finding all the parts out here are slim.
