That’s the plan. Ordered some green plastics yesterday. Liked the blue but I like the dark green better. Looking at a roof and windshield next.
I've got the cloth top and like it. It doesn't develop rattles, and even though my machine is outdoors in New Mexico for the last couple years, it hasn't gotten sun damaged. Bought the Super ATV flip up windshield, works great, but if you're over about 5' 10" the bottom edge will be right in front of your eyes when it's open.

Thanks. Got my plastics and went the Honda roof.

I am glad to see that you were able to go have fun with it. Have you ever been out on the trails a Eglin AFB? I didnt have the 500 when we lived down that way, but I would take my Wrangler out on the trails. At that time you just had to get a pass to ride on them. We lived off 98 in Santa Rosa Beach, in Church Street Village.

I haven’t. I’ll look into that, thanks!

Please tell me where you find a highly experienced tech for the rates these corporations pay. If you find one Im willing to make a road trip.
Call Mac's Cycle in Clarkston Washington. Only have Ivan do the work, he is a master BMW mechanic. I have been around the mechanical industry all my life and he is probably the best natural mechanic you will ever find. When I ran the parts and service department we had people ride 600mi from Seattle just to have him work on their bikes. He has been to every school available for BMW ,Honda, Suzuki, and BRP. ,

I do not have a good answer for that, however he did prefer the Honda line for off road consumption when he worked for me.
