I just up on the Honda full Hard top, VERY nice. However, has anyone thought of or put on a middle clamp on the front? I thought it might give it more stabliablity when trailering. Your thoughts You would have to make a spacer, which no biggey.

I guess you could. I can't remember anyone losing a roof but extra support couldn't hurt.

I don't think it's necessary. Because the roof is angled down in the front the wind from trailing creates down force on the roof, especially in the front. I know this because once I drove down the road forgetting the rear clamps on the roof were off (was in the middle of a project) and at full speed the rear of the roof actually lifted up a bit.

Windshield on my 1000 had a middle clamp so if you add a windshield you may have to remove the extra clamp you put on your roof.
