its not the cost that makes a roll bar good its how its made and then how its mounted ! all the DOM seamless tubing cost the same !so most roll bars cost about the same . you should not have any animosity toward me for not liking a design of a roll bar . the bar its self is ok its the mounting that i don't like and could be much better . autopower , OG , and others make good bars with better mounting points . when your looking to install a roll bar you have to ask your self just what i want it for . if it is to do some time trials and DE events then 1st never shop for the lowest cost one . look at the mounting and what tubing is used to build it . then am i going to hook my belts to it . if so then look for one that has the best cross bar for belts and the best mounting points . remember it has to do with safety !!!! my friend rob does not have his belts hooked to the roll bar they run to the back of the car to welded plates . he like i feal that the bar would not hold up in a real bad crach with the extra load of a driver . think safety ! the same goes for your helmet . i my self never go to an event with no less than 3 helmets most of the time i will take 4 or 5 . is it over kill maybe ? i don't wear a wet helmet there not as safe . i also don't buy cheap helmets if you have a 200 dollar head then get a 200 dollar helmet . last year one of my helmets rolled off the top of the car . it was a 1400 dollar helmet . i never will wear it again . it has a real nice airbrushing on it but once a helmet takes an impact it becomes no good . what it comes down to is safety ! so you have to look at all safety gear the same way . its not about cost or it good enough it has to do with your life and just what that cost is . do you love your kids ? would you like to be there for them ?
