Windshield and top interference

Which top are you eyeballing to buy?

No problems with the Twisted canvas top....

I had a stock windshield on mine when I bought it and this roof was on it. I didn't see any interference issues but it wasnt an F4

I have the twist Dynamics Gull Wing Top and the F4+5 windshield, and no problem at all.

interference noted would be with my design. It tilts forward to allow easy entry and exit. Because the way the top frame swings downward it cannot be used with the F4 plus 5.

Hope that clears things up regarding other top options. Several options noted that would give the protection your looking for while keeping the +5.

To each his own..... figured I would hate a top, but I be loving it! Rip the canvas off and throw it in an old seat bag and toss behind a seat.... wide open, with all kinds of mounting options for gear and cameras... throw it back on when the sun starts beating you down... cage makes it easier to get in and out of...

Bullet Speed works fine.

Before you make a decision on a top, one question needs to be answered.
Do you have a rear exit exhaust, or are you planning on a rear exit exhaust? With a windscreen that tall with a top you are going to have fumes from a rear exit exhaust.

Good catch @Slingrazor . About the only rear exit exhaust that will work with this setup is the stealth. I run the alpha side exhaust.

The + 5 and the top work very well together

About those exhaust fumes, smell...

I got those behind a lawn mower at ten years of age. Experienced them on a mini-bike at thirteen years. Came up through the rusted out floorboards of the '53 Chevy 1/2 ton pick-up I was learning to drive at fifteen. My first car, a 1962 Chevy Biscayne, needed oil if it quit smoking. Started inhaling fumes from J-57 Pratt & Whitney engines mounted on the KC-135A at eighteen. The '71 VW Beetle convertible with headers and zoom tube exhaust kicked it in the sand. Knew where I had been on the trails on my Yamaha 400 enduro at twenty. The 1974 Mazda RX-4 with rotary engine was a unique critter. The roads started to flow on my 1976 Yamaha 750 Special with a new smell and was customized before we knew about mods. In 1982, the '76 Glasstron 17' Bass Boat with 1971 Evinrude 115hp outboard was a two stroker. In 1987, got my first whiff of the General Electric F101-GE-102 turbofan engine with afterburner mounted on the B-1 Bomber. In 1990, RC aircraft hobby for a unique smell. 2008 brings the Yamaha Rhino 450 4x4 off-road experience and four stroking. Back on the road 2011 with the purchase of the 2007 Goldwing GL1800 with Hannigan trike kit and aftermarket galore. And now since August 2015, the 2016 Polaris Slingshot and all the mods.

To put it all in perspective...

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you...

The combustion engine!

It should be part of the experience, not a complaint...
Unless, of course, you are passing out.

I worked for a short while as a gas pump jockey in High School and enjoyed looking at headlights! I also loved to smell the exhaust of the milk truck while it idled as the driver delivered our milk. Loved the smell of leaded gas. Not so enthusiastic about unleaded.

I remember a Playboy cartoon (I think) captioned "May I straighten your headlights, Ma'am?" or something to that effect.

I know this is going to derail the thread (how is that possible - it already is), but I used to work in an auto parts store many years ago. A customer came in looking to buy one of those leather front end protectors. He asked me if I had a bra that would fit his mustang. I asked him why, was his headlights sagging? He didn't get it
