I did a difficult install by myself and it didn't blow up in my face

Rollbar pics below. I’ll try to keep it minimal... But I am absolutely in love with this bar.

I have tons of headroom even at six feet. I’ll still pad the bar, but I would be confident knowing the chances of my head hitting it in a collision are almost zero.

Notice the mallet.

I found out after the fact that there were instructions included in the invoice email. That would have helped... Also, a spare set of hands would have really helped. But! It’s done.

The car handles so much better. I knew there would be a bit of a change, but I wasn’t expecting anything this drastic. The chassis just feels so tied together, with the road being transmitted directly to you... It’s nirvana. Okay, I’ll stop gushing.

Good job installing it alone!

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > AestheticsInMotion 04/08/2017 at 23:16

I like that it’s the same color as your 6ULs.

Only because the 6ULs are so dirty... They’re bright silver, matching the luggage rack perfectly.

Does brake dust count as a sort of chameleon paint job..?

I found the directions were fair. Some of the specifics were a bit vague in trying to figure out what applied to my specific model. But they are certainly better than some instructions I’ve seen.

A helper is huge when sliding the bar back into place and getting the rear supports past all the wiring.

Is there a reason you went with the NB style bar? Does your replacement top have the glass window?
