Thanks for the compliments!

I added a few items:

1. Front strap that connects to the header/windshield frame via that bolt you can see. (I punched a hole in the strap.) This secures the top and keeps it from ballooning so much. It, also, helps pull it tight.

2. Rear roll bar strap. This keeps the flapping down and the ballooning down.

3. Front header to roll bar strap. This keeps the bikini from sagging onto my head after it has stretched from all the ballooning. It's also good to hang stuff on...towels, swim trunks, etc. (I bought those roll bar clamps on eBay.)
