Just curious on how your going about the roll bars - are you planning to run them through the top, or putting one in the back and none inside - just curious - doing a hard / soft hybrid myself this winter but I am hinking I may try a half cab with a removable rear section (integrating bars into the seams)

I had to do some repairs to the bike a few years ago, and my dad told me about a great place to get stuff for it....wholesaler type place, but would sell to people too.
I got the fiberglass resin, the catalyst (can't think of the proper term...mix it in so it hardens), bondo/putty, and the catalyst for that, for (what I thought) was good price.
I probably paid the same as what Canadian tire wanted, but I got two or three times as much. :P
(didn't use much either, so the "deal" part is subjective...but I have it for future work, as required)
I might still have the receipt, I'll check when I get home....if not I'll check with my dad to see if he remembers.
Edit: My dad was online so I asked him, we figure it was this place: Advanced Auto Color & Bodyshop Supplies (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Advanced+Auto+Color+%26+Body+Shop+Supplies&sll=51.05541,-113.99347&sspn=0.002323,0.005214&ie=UTF8&hq=Advanced+Auto+Color+%26+Body+Shop+Supplies&hnear=&t=h&z=18&iwloc=A)

Can you post pics as you go...I have always wanted to do that but wasn't quite sure where to start, and any ideas would help!!! Good luck

thanks guys .. way ill post pics when i get going on it
as for the cage 2 options
1 remove the rear section and in the future build a stronger cage for the front
2 cut the rear cage out leaving 12'' of the rear bars in place measure and cut/drill holes in the top . install top and then sleeve the cage and weld the inner sleeve on one side then bolt the other side to the reaar cage can be removed .
