Vert Roll bar complete
Here are the final pics of the roll bar that was designed for my 2004 vert It was designed by Reese *** at MTI racing in GA. The top is still fully functional. There are 4 back braces that you can not see in the pics that are welded to the frame along with the cross hoop. This allowed no modifications or cutting at all.

Could you give us an estimate of cost?
Thanks!

We are hoping with the 2 down braces/supports the diag will not be needed for SOLO certification. If so, we are going to do diagonal out from center to both sides. With the current set-up there is no loss to rear vision through the mirror. This was another goal of the design.
