Default 2GS convertible/ragtop??

Is there such a thing as a convertible 2GS? I was on vacation in Virginia and I saw this. Is this a custom job or did they buy it like this?

Just because you have been around for awhile does mean you have seen it ALL. LOL Nope have not done the audio build yet. I saw a camera at SEMA that would be a good keyhole camera. I will think of the company name and send you a PM.
