I've got some photos of a Sportster with a with a tonneau cover,
I'm think of taking that route instead of a soft top.
Does anybody know anyone who specialised in making them?

The one in the above pictures looks a bit saggy.
This one looks better:

I know Marlin do one but its very expesive so dont think i would purchase that one. I did see another option at Exeter show last year:

I would like one of these to fit the Sportster so much easier to put on than the full roof.
The Marlin one is expensive but it does have the benefit of three zips - so you can drive just with you shoulders and head poking out!
Any decent coach trimmer should be able to make one - but I don't think it will be any cheaper than the Marlin one if you go for the same spec.
If you are going this route best to do it before you get the paint done!
