Yea - unfortunately I decided to wait until it was nice and cold before I got started - super genius move. I have the parts - I just need to get up off my arse and do it.
Hey Matthew - it was just a matter of holding up the doors and seeing where it made sense to put the Velcro. It really was not a complicated issue once you have it in front of you.
@@rsparre thank you for your reply mine is on I put it in heated garage for two days before install prepped self adhesive snaps and took it home 72 hour later it’s in the garage with the snaps falling off lol. But I did go on fairly easy I didn’t have a helper so that made it tuff I think Velcro is the way other than the snaps maybe if it would’ve been summer time they would’ve adhered better.
Seems it could be designed a bit better so not to have as many gaps and openings. However for about 1/2 the price of an OEM its a valid option. I am still mulling over which one to get. I do alot of snow plowing so the gaps might be a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the vid!
I totally get your concern about that (the gaps). I have not added or used a plow yet, so I can't say from experience what it would be like. However, there are two things that could probably make it a non-issue for you. 1) just plug the gaps with a little weather stripping if needed; 2) install a heater. I purchased a heater and am going to do an install video on that also. I suspect the heater will make it so toasty the gaps will be welcome fresh air! lol. Thanks for the feedback. - rob
It’s just a judgement call - pretty self evident once you get the doors in place to see where they would hang. There is plenty of fudge factor available.
This is on the top of my want list for enclosures because it is least expensive and does not add a lot of weight! :) I foresee days that I would want everything closed up in the mornings and evenings but would like the door-windows open mid day when it's warmer. So a way to roll them up and tie them out of the way would be great OR even better would be to just unzip them totally and put them in the storage bags. I would prefer the latter because I also owned a different brand soft enclosure for my Yamaha Rhino and found the clear plastic became brittle and cracked after a couple years. I would recommend they make the windows so they fully zip out either for warmer days or in the event they need to be replaced. Then you would only have to replace the window and not the whole side.
hey Robert - thanks for the comments. This enclosure definitely fits the bill for convenience in putting up and removing at will for various conditions. They roll up easily and tie up with Velcro, then drop down when needed. Easy to remove the whole panels with a zipper and store in the bags when that makes sense. Don't know how the windows will fare after a few years as far as cracking or brittleness, but I guess we'll see.
🏆🏆🏆👍🙏
FANTASTIC MODS and video.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks Doc - you are always so kind!
Very nice... great for winter riding.
Thanks for your support - I upgraded my club membership to lifetime today!
Great video as always, Rob.
Thanks Zach!
Are you still planning the heater install?

How did you decide where to stick Velcro on rops?

Specifically top roll bar.

Does Deb make you sleep in the "bed" since you started making these vids?
It's her way of keeping me out of the house.
