Top irons and rops kit question

Unread post by whirook » January 24th, 2017, 10:03 pm

Why didn't the rops kit just replace the top irons all together? It seems like it woul have been a simple thing for the rops bars to have supported the top instead of the top irons.

Because then the hard top would not have been able to have been fitted. I know there were height restrictions as far as shipping but I think the ROPS was well over that.
