Thread: rollbars

  1. #1

    Default rollbars

    i'm wondering to the ppl that have the hard dog sport or the hard dog hardcore, is is hard to see out the rear view mirror with the bar in? i personally don't think i'll have any problems with one in, considering i'm only 5ft 4(maybe 5ft 5 ) i also have part of the lower cushion on my seat taken out so i sit even lower than normal if that makes any difference.

    The double diags will usually afford better rearward vision because the bars don't directly cross behind the mirror. The singles usually do...

    Otherwise you'll get used to it.

    I have a HD Sport, no diags. Stealthy with the top up and never blocks rear vision.

    Default HD sport double

    Track Dog put a HD Sport with double diagionals in my 92 and I love it.
    I quickly got used to the view and found that if I tilted the mirror slightly upward I had an even better view.

    Yes. You don't need a rollbar for AX and they don't measure clearance if you do have one (at least not regionally).

    Going for the hat trick, 3rd post for this bar now! I love the Boss Frog double hoop and will get it someday. Double hoop style for looks, SCCA certified and lots of head clearance and seat travel, can't go wrong with that choice.
