(Australia). This was way too large for the KR and in itself has the bubble look which I wanted to avoid. I was after a streamlined appearance with a flatter top and more vertical sides As the canopy was so large and wide, the curvature over the top was less pronounced than a smaller blown one. It was this part that I cut out and used in my KR. It's easier to see what I am talking about in this photo. http://www.kr-2s.com/images/krnet/zenith.jpg And I still had to pull the sides in a little to meet the canopy frame! Here's how it looks finished http://www.kr-2s.com/images/yellowtape_600.jpg Food for thought.
