Al, that usually is covered by the Speedster group. Once they negotiate the dates and rooms they will post. Most likely we’ll be back at the Marriott in Mechanicsburg.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

On mine, the rear bow slides into a sleeve sewn into the top. There is an opening in that sleeve near each end where you take that strap and loop it over the rear bow. Then just loop it over the front bar and adjust with the buckle to where the top looks right.

A trip to the local craft store supplied a Styrofoam ball.
Enlarged the hole to allow clearance for further adjustment if ever needed.

As I had stated in the VA Beach thread, I had begun to upgrade the alternator in the Beast. What I thought would be a 20 minute job snowballed into several days.
