i don,t wish to sound negative to your thoughts/idea of supplying a roll bar but,

i,m not sure i agree with the above, having been a semi pro bike racer (sorry i know i,m boring) i was always happy to spend extra on a helmet that i felt would offer me the best protection for my head in a crash, & yes i crashed a few times in my career but have never had a serious head injury, & i was always thankful that i didn,t buy the cheapest helmet on the market.

my point being....... i don,t think you can have "overkill" when the roll bar is the last safety device to protect your head in a roll over crash.

My own roll bar was supplied via one of Ash g,s group buy & my back stays are of the same material/thickness, & feel happy with the safety it offers.

said in a polite way i assure you.
cheers
