Chip,

Can you keep us posted on this. I think it is very interesting and I see what he is getting at---great idea for a quick stop

I am totally interested in this one.

BTW---would a tall skinny 15 year old girl fit in your small shirts or would they be too big?

Thanks again---and sorry to hijack a bit

It only takes my 30 seconds to put my targa on. I'd save the $150 and just use the targa.

Looks like a toupee

,,, but that is a good idea. Too bad you can't drive with this on.

Mid America Motorworks sells this as well. In the $265 range.

If you don't like what you find, buy a couple rolls of duct tape and some old cardboard.

It's $149 at Mid America and I would like to get one to avoid the wear and tear on the rubber molding across the top which tends to rip. I had to replace my molding after the 1st year. Besides the temporary top is much lighter ie easier to pt on and off.
