I've been looking around at different hard and soft top roofs for my Pioneer 700-4. I think I'm convinced that hard is the way to go (which is what I was leaning towards from the beginning) but I'm just wondering what everyones experiences have been with different roofs. Just looking for some input, insight, and opinions!

Thanks

Happy

I've got the Honda hard roof and I've already scraped it several times with out damaging it. I know if it was the soft top, it would have ripped. From my experiences, the hard top works better if you think you'll get close to trees and branches.

I can only vote for the Honda roof also, the only draw back to it that I can see is the increased height you'll gain, without the roof my pioneer will fit in the garage, with it, not so much.

I also have the honda roof. During the spring and fall I usually leave it off just because the sun feels good during that time of year. Takes less than 5 minutes to go on or off. My only complaints are that it does squeak and rattle a little and it adds a little height to the machine. I would recommend looking into the aluminum roof from EMP. I'm not sure if they make one for the P-4 or not. My guess is the aluminum roof would be lower profile and less prone to squeaking but I could be wrong. Lastly, I cannot think of why the soft roof would be better than any hard roof, only why it would be worse!

I think I was a little unclear in my post when I said "I'm just wondering what everyones experiences have been with different roofs" , I should've said "I'm just wondering what everyones experiences have been with different hardtop brands". I'm 100% getting a hardtop, just still deciding on which to get, I'm even contemplating making my own to save a few bucks. Thanks everyone!
