Chopped it

Chopped the top this week 4 1/2". Really like the way it turned out.

Your red RZR really looks good !

That looks great!

Thanks..

looks great.

i like the look but i need to set in a choped one to see if my big a$$ would still have head room.

I like it Ive thought about doing mine. How hard was it to do?

LOOKS GREAT ---- I need to set in one as well to make sure of the head room

Nice job! Good looking machine u got there.

Thanks guy's.
Jeff M, It wasn't all that bad to do. Took a little longer than I thought to get it all lined back up to weld. Really helped having a friend with a machine shop to make the sleeve's. The inside diameter of the cage is 1.62". I was having a hard time finding pipe that size.

Looks good!

man that looks sweet! i need to do that but im 6'3". so im worried about the big head thing.

im going to chop mine soon maybe this week so you can check it out next time we ride

Nice looking ride. Did you have to make any other adjustments to get it to line up, as far as the angle goes?

:kick ass:

The hardest part was spreading the bars. I didn't have a porta power so I tacked the sleeve's to the lower part of the cage. And loosen all 8 bolts. Then had to used a couple big ratchet straps to pull the upper cage apart. That allowed for it to line up to get a tack. Then removed the rear section to finish the welds.

I LOVE THIS LOOK!

They look much much better with the cage chopped but some one made a good point that they may be made like they are for a safety reason being if you rolled over a hill etc that it would not keep rolling as easy the way the factory has it.With it chopped it would roll much more especially in a slow speed roll it may not even roll but go over on it's side and stop if that makes sense.

That is a good point Bobby. I never thought of that, and it does make alot of sense. It looks cool as hell, but now that I have a RZR, I know I won't be doing the chop. At 6'1", there may be room to chop it, but strap on a helmet and the idea is history. That sucks because it does look freakin awsome!

I think it looks pretty good! Just be careful with it!

Most of the guys who are chopping these cages are supporting them better than they where before.
