Hard dog roll bar

[I<3flippyheadlights]

So I'm thinking of going from a autopower bar to a hard dog roll bar. Its not that I don't like the autopower one, but I want to use this bikini top I have had forever. I also like the idea of getting a harness bar. So whats the best one to get bang for buck wise. I looked at the M1 and M2 bars and the difference is that the M1 comes WITH a harness bar installed. Any downside? If someone could help me that would be awesome. Also, I only want one bar across, not two. (No reason for that, just a 100 bucks cheaper and I think it looks cooler)

Thanks everybody!

????? are you talking about single diag versus double diag?? If so the double is nicer since your rearview mirror works. The single obscures it pretty well .

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Shit really? I didn't even think about it....

[f86sabjf]

yep I have the m2 dd on my nb . Look into my photo album might give you an idea

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Thats an extra hundred bucks.... crap

[f86sabjf]

mine also has harness tabs welded to it but i've never used them. I like the idea of harnesses and the dream of track time but i haven't been able to get there in 3yrs . I would say by the bar you want and let the rest fall into place over time. I dont know if this matters or not but as soon as the harness bar goes in the windblocker is out of there. Dont know if thats important to you or not

[I<3flippyheadlights]

In all honesty, I want a roll bar that will fit for my bikini top. That is top priority. I figured I could kill a few birds with one stone while I'm at it.

[f86sabjf]

I understand that . I had seen your for sale .

[I<3flippyheadlights]

I'm gonna give the folks a call and see whats up. I really want a bar through the middle, but I can live without it as long as it meets the requirements I need.


My for sale add makes me want to stab myself in the chest, over and over again.

I just went with the HD M2 no diagonals. I like not having the already restricted view even more restricted.

test fit that top on an NA in the local club, someone with a hardog, I think Greg has one? make sure the top fits and then order the exact same bar. Just would hate to see you in the same pickle

I'm just gonna call hard dog and ask them about the measurements. I don't see why they would differ but I want to make sure.

Is it bad that I want something different then what I own?

[f86sabjf]

nope not at all . The dream changes over time with everyone. Other wise we would get bored out of our minds

How did you ever get into college boy?!

THAN

Unlike then, than is not related to time. Than is used in comparative statements.


EXAMPLES:


~Another pair of words that I see misused far more often than not is than and then.

~He is taller than I am.

~Other than the interest on a small inheritance, he had no income.

~Today's students certainly do seem to read less than students in previous generations did.

~We learned more on the playground than we did in the classroom.

~Despite their lack of flavor, the hothouse tomatoes cost far more than those from the farmers' market.


THEN


Then is used either as a time marker or with a sequence of events.



EXAMPLES:

~I took all of the exams in the morning, and then I spent the rest of the day catching up on sleep.

~Back then we knew what was expected of us.

~I bought apples from this orchard last summer, but I seem to remember paying more for them then.

~Look over the study guide first, and then if you still have questions bring them up in class.

You know he sent me a pm telling me not to get offended by his random posts. I said no worries. Now I see this, what a douche. :P


And I got into college because I told them I wanted to be a teacher. They were so desperate to have me :P

[f86sabjf]

Yeah I kinda figured he was post troll . You know dropping in and dissappearing . Oh well to each there own

[I<3flippyheadlights]

He said he was trying to get it high enough to enter the MOTM contest. He is a very active member that comes to the weekly meets.




But he can be a butthole in his V8 Miata :P

Thanks! You are missing a comma in your sentence. :frantic:

[f86sabjf]

Eh! What took you so long????:toomuch:

[Boris]

So, what roll bar do you have ?
I have a HD single diagonal that is a bit too forward for my liking.

I've futzed around town with three Hard Dog bars over the years.
There was a M2 Sport no diag in the '99. That one was nice, because it was totally stealth when the top was up. It also, obviously, didn't impair visibility at all. Saved my butt when the car got totaled out, too. At least I like to think it helped.
My '94 has one of the longer acronyms: HDHCHTM1DD or whatever. Despite what everyone says, those diagonals seriously get in my line of sight. Might just need to tear some more foam out of the seat or something.
My '90 has a HCM1SD. I love this bar. It looks atypical (not every bar in town looks like it), and I've learned to see "around" where the diag meets the main hoop.

blah blah blah

[psulja]

Lol @ all the open post whoring going on in this thread.

In response to the single diagonal blocking the view of the rear view mirror. Honestly, I don't find it to be in the way much at all and it looks a lot better than the double diagonal. I daily mine with a single diagonal and you get used to it pretty quickly.

Probably why the bear was in the back. What would have been great is if it would have taken a couple steps back into the water! Dho! Post whore here!!!!! Flippy-meet up with me sometime soon if you haven't purchased a bar yet and you can see what it is like in my car.

[I<3flippyheadlights]

No, I still don't have a bar. Honest truth, I sort of don't want one. Really don't see the need to drop 400-500 bucks when there are other things I can do with my car.
