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

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 .
