Default Roll Bar project started

Started my 6point roll bar project. It is nowhere near done yet. This is my 3rd bar build, but my first solo. Let me know what you think.

Roll Bar 1

Roll Bar 2

Hopefully the pics will work.

Thanks! I wasn't sure about the bend in the center of the main hoop, but I think it will allow for far better sight in the rearview.

If my R-D bar had that bend in it, rearward vision would be much improved.

I wish mine had that bend in it. I can't see a thing out my rearview.

That was one of the main reasons that I chose to spend the time fabbing my own instead of just buying one. I think I can make it as unintrusive as possible. I now have the removable door bar done and with it out you can really tell there is one. I will get pics up this weekend with the door bar and hopefully the rears.
