I would suggest taking a look at Larry Flesner's KR. ?He went to a fixed frame with a gull wing door for access and raised his rear deck and canopy height significantly to accommodate his height. ?You'll find several other KRs that have done the same for various reasons. ?Rollover protection is also significantly easier to build into this type of structure.
Not visually stimulating? ?That's the first time I've ever seen that description paired with a KR. :o) -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Benny Dumbrell > Sent: 06/11/13 10:20 PM > To: krnet at list.krnet.org > Subject: KR> KR2 Canopy > > Sent from Windows Mail > > > > > > ?G?day All ?
