Everything is looking great! I've been wanting to do something with the cage too, I will be watching your progress
I really had no thoughts of lowering it but I haven't wanted to raise it because were banging crap already so when Joey called me a kitty for not raising it we had to fight back.lmao. Now even with suspension added well over 2 1/2 inches lower overall and 3 1/2 in the nose so we can force our way under things better. The center line weight with just a couple people will be better. Overall it's win win. We're all fairly tall otherwise I would have gone more already the front speaker bar has to move forward but no biggie. It's definitely going to look way more sporty I'm stoked! When we can get a 500 I'll chop the s*** out of it! And probably tilt the cage in like a rzr. 7c20088c2ecfc51c90aa4c388fe65889
It's one piece again! Not bad for a couple hours

If distance wasn't an issue I'd have no problem! It would be cool to be that way many of us could help each other and things would go fast.

It would be f***ing awesome to get about 6 of us together at a time. Ride a weekend and tear crap apart and rebuild the next! The ideas would make manufacturing change.

Yes because as you lower the roof because of the angle of the windshield it moves forward. When you cut it the rear top bar moves about 1/2 forward and front bar moves 1 7/8 forward. So between the two it's only 1 3/8

I understand that part just curious if the placement of that 1 7/8" piece has to be exactly over the seat. Could it be 1" towards the windshield? 1/2" towards the rear? (from where you have it).

Where it's placed is straight. After that the roof curves in towards the front and it would be more difficult as you are altering another angle.

086fddd111cfddb14b95d2f1a777abcb rather then spray it again with gloss black that scratches to s*** I went with a matt black small texture coat. Much more durable and better looking. I'm sick of scratches. Honda should have done this.

You are an artist my friend.

How much would it take for you to make a trip down south? We could probably lineup at least a dozen members in the Southeast that would like this done.

The real question is what will you do with the windshield and doors? You did have doors didn't you?
