Re: Bikini Top

Tonyp and I are the ones who got a prototype built and as far as I know the guy who Tonyp has make them is still willing to. PM me your e-mail address and I will send you the info + order sheet + some pics of one installed on Tonyp's K5. We aren't making a dime off of these, we just wanted to get one available so we did the leg work and got it done.

Re: Bikini Top

That would be my Jimmy.

Like Yukon said, he and TonyP got it together for us. They went to alot of trouble, and there work is greatly appreciated. It turned out great, fit perfect, looks awesome.

Re: Bikini Top

the highway give my fastrac too much of a beating, its great, 'cept what can you expext on the freeway w/ a full soft top, the bikini would make it alot more stream line as far as that goes... i'll need to shoot you a PM yukon. I almost got one of these right before i got my soft top. Now that that's installed anyways i can order the one that uses the fastrac system vs. snaps
