Hello  :D
I was asking you how to cut the tube from the roll cage.
You have only made two cuts (each side) and the upper side of the roll cage goes down to the precise location to mach with the  down tube ?  If so, how many cm needs to be cutted ? How the front part of the roll bar goes down, have you also cutted it  ?
 I think the original roll bar is too higth I love your modification, so it would be great have the information to make the same to my own zforce
Thank you

Hi Antonio

Regarding the roll cage chop.

Remove the rear upper section of the roll cage, loosen 4 x allen bolts at the front of the cage uprights,  the front section will then naturally lower itself to the correct position.
NO CUTS REQUIRED

From the rear top section of the cage cut out the centre support  taking care not to damage the horizontal braces and grind the excess material/welds from the tubes.

The two sections of angled tube that intersect with the top and lower horizontal braces need to be cut out. (Look at the photos closely you can see the welds), save these pieces as they need to be cut and re-used.

Re-fit the upper section  of the cage, you can now see where you have to make the two outside angled pieces and the two centre pieces fit, its quite a simple fabrication job.

On my cage I TIG welded the new pieces into place and left the welds (no grinding off).

I also added the front brace to the cage for a little extra added strength.

It's very important that the cage is fully aligned before welding.

Once it's all welded it's off to the body shop for painting.

The roof fits back on perfectly other than drilling 2 x holes to fit the rear roof bolts that  need approximately 30mm spacers/extensions.

Happy days good luck, I  will see if I have any more pics of the work in progress.

Hi Antonio,

Found a few pics of the cage chop and other bits I have done that may be of interest to you and others.

I just surprised CFM hasn't caught-on that we do not like the tall roll cage at all and would like it shorter. My buddies with the WildCat Trails are a good foot and a half shorter then I am and can get under stuff I have no hope to. Check it out:
