    Soft Slant Back

    ^Was thinking that...or even pressure treated lumber. I have no need to endure the elements...no needs for anything other then the "look" of the slant back to the general public. My vee is used for business/shows so again, it just needs to look the look.

    Soft Slant Back

    Hey Guys, any idea why we don't see more of these? If you just fab (2) steel tube pieces to create the slant & get creative with a custom piece of fabric w/ grommets & anchor points...It should give your slant back look for like 1/100th of the price.

    Soft Top Vs Hard Top

    Hey Guys thanks in advance for all your input! Just curious to hear the responses from season vets about the pros & cons when considering hard top vs soft top? My vehicle will be used for pleasure on roads in PA. I guess the hard top just looks better?

    Slantback Questions - Newbie Here

    Why would this kit be so inexpensive on Ironplanet? It's half the cost of Plan B (but looks just like theirs.) Is this ready to be installed OR do you need a bunch more hardware? From past auctions, it appears this will go for $3,500. (link to active auction, removed)
