POLL: To Chop the cage or not

I was thinking about chopping my cage down some on my RZR. I have never done this and have been perfectly fine with the height.

Either way I was wondering why people do it. Whats the advantage? Is is unsafe? Is there a standard for what you should drop the top?

I have talked to a few people about it and got their opinions and now I would like to see what you guys think about it.

Its a look , there is no function to it , I could see it adding strength if you added bars to the front ( the v section in the front ) and X'ing out the top .

Chop...Chop...Chop that rzr.....that would be awesome....I vote yes...

Check out rzrforums.com. Info and how to's on this.

Whatever is good for you,every thing is a tradeoff. Looks good.

I called one place and they were 800 dollars to chop it! Woa!

I think they look better chopped but I don't think I would pay to have it done but I don't have your money

I personally like the chopped look much better than stock, just can't justify the cost.

The only reason i havent chopped either of mine is because that added space above my head is where my two speakers are mounted in my homemade box

For $800, I would buy a new cage!! Then switch them out before you sell the rzr

Keep your eyes open you can find used ones for sell. But like bobby said I don't have your kind of money.

T-Bone, I know several people that do it for $400. Thats how much mine was! For me, I can't stand the high angle of the stock roof, but I will say there has been a couple circumstances to where I have gotten under things that where my buds a couple of us had to stand on their machine.

But really, its just about what you like!

I took 6" out my S. On the 4 seater we took out 8 in the rear and 6 in the middle.

lets see a pic of the 4 seater. I have never seen one chopped.

T-Bone, I posted up some pics on facebook. I'm at work and can not utilize photobucket here. They block it.

saw it! Looked good!

I chopped mine 6", first time, for the looks. Kept the same height on the new cage but made it wider and stronger. Wear a harness and/or a helmet or you'll knock yourself out at a 6" drop.
