Default Sharkbars?

anybody using them, I am thinking of either buying these for my 72 vert. and using the Simpson 5 pt harness or making my own and have them chromed. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Ordered one several weeks ago and got a message they were behind. Still have not received any notice from them. They originally told me 3 weeks and it is almost 4 weeks.

I sent them an e-mail asking status but I have not gotten any response so I am going to call. A little annoyed but I have to say, in the past, I have had nothign but great experiences with Speed Direct.

I ordered the chromed sharkbar for he convertible withthe hoos.

I have the whole package. Bar, Camera/Video mount, and the fire extingisher with 5 pt Simpson camlocks. Well made and I would trust my life with it.
