Managed to get hold of one of these off a fellow nutzer (they know who they are :thumb-up: ).It took me an Andy a while to do,as Andy was kind enough to let me use his garage just in case it rained :whistle: .Here are some pictures.

Thanks guys,better responce than i expected,yep,seat goes all the way back to the bulk head,but TBH if you are over 5"10 i suspect ones head might touch the top of the hoop,also plenty of room for the glass back window to fold down :goodjob: .Boss Frog Roll bars are quite rare in the U.K i suspect,as they wont ship out side the domestic U.S.

Can't say I usually notice these roll bars much...but yours certainly looks top quality and definitely worth a second (and third) look :thumb-up: I really like that ;)
