I love the way it looks on your cruiser. If I ordered one in black, I would personally ask for the buttons to be black also if possible.

This top can be seen at the 3rd Annual 70 Series Meet & Greet ...... and yes it's a shameless plug for the event.

That looks incredible Joeri. Great work.

Took the sides out today and rolled the back up, about to leave to the TLCA meeting in Dallas about 70 miles each way at 75/80 mph, curious on how it will hold up like this and what the noise level will be

What's the word on reproducing this bad boy? Willing to chip in for R&D

Holy cow, that's hot. Kurt/Onur - is that secondary rear ragtop rollbar available?

That rolbar is more common in European FRP models but not all models have it.

Right now I am still to busy and with summer running at it's end I will not do anything for this at this moment, hoping that thinghs slow down a bit this winter so I can focus on it.

The soft top performed flawles at 85 mph and I could not hear a single noise of it.......over the noise of my 35' BFG KM2's

The 70 series present at our local tlsc meeting yesterday

That top is just awesome....I seriously hope you can reproduce it.

Interesting！I want this one for my BJ70 soft top! My one is made by the after-market of Japan!

I don't see this happening ,replicating it for the 73/74 model is one thing but trying to change the dimensions is something I am not comfortable with.Maybe if someone who does upholstery and tops for a living get's involved that might change things.

The cost will be a lot higher then just getting a new oem replacement top if you have a oem soft top truck.

I uploaded my 70 pic! Someone said it bought from the aftermarket at Japan! The quality is good!
I have interest to get one which do not need the hard frame at rear and colour is black!

@joekatana Do you have any update on this soft top project?

 

[bjowett]

I'm out, factory soft top arrives this week.

 

[joekatana]

@joekatana Do you have any update on this soft top project?

Not right now, as I said before it is a winter project.Doesn't make much sense to have them ready before winter comes along

Thanks Joe...right now it is the perfect weather for soft top (or topless).
