If I find myself with an FUV on my hands, it will get at least a touring top. I was thinking Haartz cloth instead of leather, though.
Ignore the color, I should've gone grayscale on this.

That velorex looks like a complete death trap.
Looks nice, but still. Yikes.

The first time I sat in an SRK (now FUV) the most comfortable position was with my feet on the upper suspension A-arms, two years ago. The current bodywork obstructs that, but I threw them on anyway.

Looks like a variant of the Moby Dick race car that was allowed a more aerodynamic greenhouse and tail.
