    Can we get some G-String testimonials up in here?

    I yanked out my soft top in the late summer and have (happily) run HT-only since. I have no desire to put the softie back in, but imminent rollbar installation and talk of Spring drives has me considering a G-String. I am curious, though, how it performs "at speed".

    Revlimiter's excellent review gives me lots of confidence that it will do the job, but I am curious to hear from some other users. How is the buffeting, windows up or down? Done any long drives with it? Loving your G-String? Please let me (and everyone else) know!

    I've had mine up past 120. No buffeting. The center tube makes it amazingly solid.

    I can't wait for spring to reinstall.

    How much does it cost to get one? I've thought about them before.

    Price depends on how much work you want to do yourself, whether you have a rollbar or not, etc. Peep this for pricing on the various options.

    Indeed, but that thread is more "show us your pics"... I was hoping for me "personal experiential anecdotes".

    This is what I wanted to hear. Thanks, Rev!

    I'm going to be in serious trouble with collection agencies now. Must have one for my BF double hoop to go with my G side splitters.

    I've had mine on for weeks at a time. For the first couple days you might want to keep an eye and re-tighten the straps as the fabric stretches out. Driving with it on is fantastic. Had it on at 125mph and it was perfectly fine. If you have the windows up and a proper windblocker (like Project G's) while driving when it's cold outside, it still holds the heat inside pretty well. On hot days, it keeps the cabin pretty cool from the combination of shade from the G-String and the open air on 3 sides. I love my G-String. I just wish I had one on my NC (hu-hem, Steve, hahah!).
