Franco - tops already paid for itself 3 times over.

I've been maintaining it pretty good. I had a new zipper sewn in last year on the front. I now have some stitching busting loose in the rear that I will have fixed soon. All to be expected in a soft enclosure with some years on it. I'm still very happy with it. I can't imagine riding the 100 miles a day during winter without it! We were very comfortable every day.

When I take it in to have the stiching done, I'm thinking of adding some straps to the rear part of the side windows that would attach to the gunnel and hold them down better. This would also allow me to leave out the rear curtains, whereas right now they tend to flap in the wind and come unsnapped :-/ . I got the strap idea from my buds Grady. It has em and works excellent.

Leaving the rear out would be helpful on those warmer days where spray is more concern than cold.

RAP - well, even if I'm inducted without the slam - I plan on getting the slam ANYWAY! I just love a challenge (if you guys don't know that by now). ;D

Thanks guys,
Blue :D
