Haven't made one for the RTV900 but had one made for a Polaris 6x6. Keep a 2k Honda genset up there and 4 300 watt quartz lights, works slick.

I took a couple pieces of cherry board I milled and put a car receiver and a couple of speakers in. I could take the front board off and it would make a nice shelf.

"Needless to say"......I have a lot of faith in parachute cord.:D

I wove a cargo net (a combination of trucker and sailor knots) on the front, back and top of my RTV 500 rollcage; 4" squares.

The horizontal net on top holds all kinds of items; bang-sticks, jackets, maps etc. I hang items off it as well.

I went with a cordura top so it and the 550 cord forms an envelope.

The net does a pretty good job catching the whipping limbs and cobb-webs too.

The net stays in place or can be adjusted.
