Sounds interesting. I'm wondering if it's not possible to have an IR shield in the top somewhere, to reflect the heat back out. Problem would be the Interior fuzz, if it was inside. Outside, another set of installation problems. I was thinking of painting the top center area (of the pop top) with white paint, but I'm not sure how that would look? I'm guessing you're talking about covering the top while parked? Thanks, John C... SLC, UT... 85 Westy |
