Thread: soft tops for 32 roadsters ....links please

Tweet

Trust me, you can do it yourself... i did it with a 19.99 air stapler from Harbor Freight (junk)... I'd recommend a decent stapler, as mine was hard to regulate the pressure, and seemed to blast them through the fabric one time, then not even nail them flush on the next trigger pull... if nothing else, borrow a good one for the job. You'll also need to cut the side bars to fit up exactly to your windshield, which is cool because you can make it fit perfectly to your car. Its all detailed completely in the video you get. You'll love your Bop Top, and I bet you think your car looks better with it than without. You can drive 80 mph without any wind whipping you to death.

I have been away from the Forum for about a year but I recall there was another earlier thread on this whole topic. I am working on my windshield now and I greatly respect C9x's comments but I am (Noob-1) so I may have to farm out the top work and pay the price. I would like to be able to drive in Fall and early Spring when the weather is cold so I would like the top to come down right at the rear edge of the door but I wonder how that restricts vision to the side. Maybe the thing to do is get the LB top and have it installed by a pro shop and then add sewed in rear transparent panels. I do like the pin up rear window. I searched for the old thread that had a lot of pictures but not found it yet. Anybody recall that thread?

Mine is rarely on the car. I prefer to drive w/ the wind in my white hair.
I don't take it apart either. Wife loves it (not), it's sitting in the living room leaning agains't the back of the couch. If we travel to a multi day show- I drive to hotel w/ the top & leave it in the room until we leave.

I also rarely use my Topster II and just recently assembled and put it on. It was on for the better part of a day and is back off again. We get a lot of rain in west central Florida and with the split header it easily fits in my trunk along with my 15 gal fuel tank and that is where it usually stays. I use the cockpit tonneau cover freqently. It works especially well keeping the cockpit dry while I wet my whistle waiting for the shower to pass. It has been so long since I last put the windshield on my Harley that I don't know where I stored it. I keep a towel in the saddlebags to dry the seat.
