    Yep, it should bolt right in. My HD M2 Sport bar is made for an NB so it'll clear the glass window. Same bar that Jerome has.

    Is this a legit roll-bar? I'm not intending to crap on your thread; I honestly have no idea if this is a style piece or a safety piece. Seems it'd mousetrap as effectively as a style bar (yes, I know there's plenty of urban legend in that). Will it fit under a hardtop?

    Two points of contact. I would say it is a style bar.
    M3 is always the answer.

    Wouldn't necessarily be my first choice, but its far from a style bar. The other 2 (arguable) points are the seatbelt towers.

    That top pic of the roll bar doesn't look like it was rolled; looks more like someone drove it under a truck. The bottom one shows the deflection of the bar though; that was clearly a partial roll. My worry is that this bar will act like the style bar if the same stresses are put on it that you see in the style-bar pic.

    Are there provisions on the bar for cross bracing to anchor it a little further aft as well?

    If you look at the mounting points between the two, the HD bar has two mount points going down behind the seats and bolting to the frame in addition to the two 'style bar' points on the seatbelt towers. Without working out the physics of leverage force, I'd say you have at least 200% - 300% more strength against mousetrapping **over the style bar**, probably more. Add that to the much higher material quality.

    In my opinion you should compare this bar to the other HD bars, and not against the ebay style bars. It is somewhat functional, so compare it against other functional bars.

    This bar offers less support than other HD bars, but then again price is less than 25% the cost of it's bigger cousins, so there you go. Get rearended by a mack truck, you're SOL anyway, but I think this is fine for a normal roll over. Driving outside of 'normal conditions'? ...get an appropriate bar/cage.

    Don't take my word for it though, i've never used any of these bars .
