Is my ROPS hollow inside, top to bottom?
I have a 5240 with a foldable rops and canopy. I've never folded it nor do I ever plan on it so I don't know if its hollow from the top to the bottom. I'm adding led lights and want to run the wire inside the rops from the top to just below the horizontal brace that ties the two together, come out just under the brace and go to the somewhere behind the seat to my switches. Trying to keep the wiring as neat as possible.
Thanks

Well I guess I'll have to figure something else out. Even thought it's just rubber it will keep me from fishing it through to the bottom.

Just drill a small hole thru the plastic caps at the end of the rop tubes where they meet. That is how I ran mine. Philip.
