I'm all for safety, don't get me wrong, but that really doesn't look safe to me. At all. And yeah, fashion is nice too but not at the expense of one's health imho.

Very much agreed with Ludedude ... The Cusco roll cage for the AP1 is a waste of money, not to mention a serious hazard instead of being a safety item. I wouldn't even bother.

It's not approved by any racing organization/club/sanction for that matter worldwide.

Are the 5 points any safer than the 6 points? It wouldnt have the extra bar that goes over the head, so it wouldnt be as much to worry about hitting your head, right? Im not asking if they protect in a rollover by the way, I am asking if they hurt you in a rollover.

Cusco roll cages are complete crap as alluded to eariler in this thread.

Get someone to fabricate you a setup. It will be of far better quality.
