Not quite level, could do with 1/4 inch off the front legs, but fabbed up over a weekend in the rain with a borrowed pipe bender, and 4 lengths of blueband tubing.
Not rolled it yet, but ive leant it on trees, bankings, (the floor) and its OK. Could use an internal diagonal brace to make it super duper tho, but Im still trying to work out how to run it past the seat backs without it getting in the way, probably put a cross brace is as well to strap a couple of 4 point harnesses to as well.

Ended up being a bit rushed at the end, cos I was getting electric shocks off the welder(it was raining) so I had to hurry the job up.

Nice job 8) wish i had all the gear to do that.

rollazuki:
I get the tube cheap(read as free) through a mate
Pipe bender is 50 quid ish(or borrowed)
Mig welder is a few quid I guess
Winmiter software(free) for making masks for pipe cutting/notching
grinders for cutting and notching

Ill be honest, its a bit rough close up, the welds are untidy, the notches could be so much more accurate, but hell, its better than the factort fit soft top and targs bar!!
It was my first attempt, others would benefit from experience gained.

joker777:
winmitre software??  where might i find this?

rollazuki:
just do a google search,

http://www.ezpipe.com/

both of these do the business, you tell em the pipe diameter of both pipes, then the intercept angle, then the offset, then it prints a real size pattern out. You wrap it round the pipe, mark it, then grind the metal out.
Makes for a pretty good fit, just need to bear in mind the tube wall thickness .
