I am interested in roll bars , I have seen the plans and pix. of rutans design on his site.  pictures of bill Allen's, also pix of Wayne Backlers
in CSA.
  I am wondering how many have built roll bars? What do they the think of them? Would they do it again? does anybody like bill Allen still Sell them :arrow: .

Thanks
Tom

I built mine based on Allen's and Blackler's. No one really knows if these will
hold up any better than the stock headrest. I tend to think they will but I sure
don't want to be the one to test it.  

I would do it again:
Only took about 12 hours total to implement..
Total cost was about $30.
Total added weight was ~4 pounds.
It improves the view of the GIB.
Gives the GIB a handle to get in/out.
Looks cool.

RAF has plans for a roll bar on his web site.

How many have built this style, and how do you like it?
