Weighed my mild steel roll bar...

[Skinny]

Alot lighter than I expected... Shipped weight says 85lbs... but my scale is telling me 75lbs. I checked it two ways. First I weighed myself, then weighed myself with the bar in my hands and took the difference. Then I just layed the bar across the scale, and it again showed 75lbs. I'm impressed! I was expecting about 95lbs! The bar goes straight to the powdercoater tonight or tomorrow morning. Install will be next Saturday. The powdercoat will be a charcoal color that almost EXACTLY matches the leather interior.. it's gonna look GOOD! Pics will be up ASAP.

nice....can't wait to see pics

by chance do you know how much the chromoly one would weigh?

[Skinny]

They say the CM bars weigh 60-65lbs... of course they also say the MS bars weigh 85-95lbs...

Probably with the bolts man... try weighing it with all the hardware.

Weld in bar - no bolts. I weighed it with everything it came with, inluding the packing material.

Are they just not going to powder coat the weld points or are you going to chip it off?

[Skinny]

We masked off about 1" at the end of each bar, and we masked around all the weld points on the main hoop. After it's all welded in we'll spray it to match.

Thanks, was wondering how to handle that issue. Still debating about the door bar looking at yours, have to look into those swing out bars some more. Good luck with the install, interested in know how it went.

I was going to go for the swing-outs, but money was the issue there. I couldn't justify (nor afford) another $170 for swingout bars. However, they are a very good option if you have the $$ for it. With the swingout bars, you can completely remove the front bars when you're not at the track.

So really $85 for 5 point or screw the passenger with a 6 point, one swing out. For a daily driver, may be worth it, but I understand about the $ situation.
