Holy crap $800 for a roof! I made mine out of 6061 aluminum. 7071 would've been fine but the guy ordered the wrong one. I had said guy cut it on a plasma and put a bend in front and back. I was into it for about $120 I think. It's stronger than plastic and I stand on it all the time either taking pictures or hanging tree stands. Just go down to your local fab shop.

I also like that it's thin. The Honda top adds a lot to your height. Mine has taken a lot of abuse. Several times I've caught a tree so hard I thought I ripped the back of the roof loose but I've never even put a bend in it.

I like @Cuoutdoors roof. If I were doing it again today... I’d probably build one. After my aluminum skids being as they were, I’d prolly use uhmw

I don’t plan on riding too hard. I may re think the metal, I don’t like the idea of wrinkling one!

I have the Armor Teck, and love it. All metal, been up against/scraping trees and not bent/wrinkled .... ARMORTECH - TOUGHEST ON EARTH .... top, back, and glass windshield was only little over $1500.

Hi all. How much does the plastic hard top weigh for the 1000-5. I am hoping to find out for trailering weight.

I know I ran the factory roof on my 700 thru lots of mesquite trees and pine trees up north while elk hunting and it held up well. Never had an issue with it running on the trailer at 80mph either. Hoping the factory hard top on the 1000-5 holds up as well.
