It's a Bitterman bar with a harness bar welded in.

I always hated that 'leaned forward' design, and the fact that the mounting points are basically all congregated in just 2 locations... Let alone the seat back/your head, looks very, very close to that bar.

I just wish we didn't have to take out the factory hoops for a roll bar. I like my S-Pods.

S-Pods, what's that?

I hear ya, the only way is to full custom it seems. That's what I had to do because I just could not rip apart my brand new car, the 1st car I ever bought new...

The rear mounting tubing does not have enough angle to properly reinforce/support the main hoop. Looks pretty funky to me but it is probably better than nothing (or the Crushsco stuff).

yeah I don't like it much either, but considering the bar you run... I'm not sure which bar is less compromised.

They both have some pretty gaping design flaws.
