I've got no ROPS, and always assumed I was better off if I was thrown clear out as opposed to sticking around in there with a steering column that won't collapse and the cold metal dashboard that is decelerating faster than I am. :roll:
I did once feel like I almost fell out while I was driving it. How embarrassing would that have been? :lol: I just get a good grip on that steering wheel and hang on for the duration.

Congtats there Raymond. No Dickle when that happened. :oops: I've never mentioned it to anyone before this. I should keep my mouth shut sometimes. :lol: I'm not a party driver. Here in Ohio you get special plates after a DUI. Yellow and red, we call em "party plates" That's one thing I've never had to worry about other than possibly a second glass of wine at a restaurant, and that'd be a close breathalyzer score even in Ohio with a .08 limit.
OH yeah, heprox is looking for seat belts. I see the brackets on ebay from time to time. HTN, your the ROPS netting expert, what about seat belts? Sorry for the hijack heprox. I'll try to get it back on track for you... :D

I've got a complete ROPS kit, seat belts and all, that I'm pretty sure will never go on my MUTT again. Only problem is that you will have to wait until I get home in late Oct.

No problem with the hijack bro....I never had much respect for butter bars anyway.....Francis, I ma in no hurry and can wait....the 6 will not ride with me without, I could really care less about the damn things to tell you.....but my wife is a leg and really safety conscious...let me know when you return, I do not need the roll bars just the belts for the front and back....

The rops front belts will not work without the rops. I have some that came new for a m35. Right color and they retract.
