I've been wondering how to to something like this with my 1600, sounds
like you've got the basic ingredients (I got no roll bar or extra front
bow) . Seems like you could pattern a top by attaching fabric of choice
to front bow, and wrap around roll bar. you could use large snaps for the
final piece. if you wanted more coverage rear of the bar, continue
fabric past bar toward the rear of cabin,get some 3/4 or 1 inch webbing.
Two pieces of webbing could lead to adjusting buckles to set tension,
then to "D" rings which would slip into teardrop thingies. Maybe I
should get a Roll bar so I can make one!
