Subject:      Reasonable price for 85 Westy poptop, how to remove and transport

The poptop on the 85 Westy in a pick and pull lot in Baltimore is in good shape although the canvas and side gasket are shot. I was giving some thought to trying to get it to perhaps put on my Syncro, although I don't think it would be possible to cut off the top as some have done. I would have to unscrew the pieces at the yard and bring it out that way.

Is this feasible? How much should I be willing to pay for the top, hinges, support bars, catch, etc. and the front luggage rack? How long is it likely to take to remove it? How hard would it be to transport it about 6-8 miles over city streets to get it to a storage garage? Is this feasible / likely to happen without damaging the fiberglass. I have dozens of bungee cords.

Advice from experienced scavengers will be appreciated.

Sam
