Jeff When I do my next KR (my 4th) I will extend my canopy frame rearwards14-18 inches so that when I opened the canopy,... part of the turtle deck would come up with it, laying visible a built in luggage area and easy access to the battery which in my case is behind the seat....and the turn buckles and anything else bolted to the rear spar. That would make for a much smaller turtle deck, ergo, easier to make. Although the deck is easy to make in any case. I used regular blue insulation foam from the lumber yard and with a one inch by two foot piece of pine with 80 grit paper glued to it & sanded it to the shape I thought pleasing . Put two layers of 6 oz glass on the outside and one layer on the inside. We're talking 50 bucks at the most to do it this way ezcluding coast of canopy. Don't know what a KR deck sells for.
