Are you putting a full blown windshield on it?
Couldn't you get away with a side cage bar like the Spec Ariel Atom: That and the, I don't know what they're called, shortie windshields that you see on a lot of race cars: or: note the side bars on the 818 too. |

I like the look of the roll bar on the Atom in the post above... Hell, I plan on driving my TR-42 with a helmet on anyway so no windscreen for me

It "was" Just a V6, I built it for my father-in-law to go rock crawling...Then the boat bug bit him and it was traded to a pontoon boat before we finished it...sad

I was just speaking from a less motorcycle-like point of safety. A front hoop adds minimal weight, adds rigidity and could safe your life. Not saying it's for everyone, just saying that I would want one. Last edited by Homemade WRX; 01-09-2013 at 11:22 AM. |

I think the way we will all be driving these types of cars, the cage like the Spec Atom should be the lightest cage we should think about. Something about being upside down sliding along at 60 mph makes me worried about anything less. 30 or 40 extra pounds for thicker wall tubing or a few extra feet of it might pay back huge returns one evening. The 818 frame is no where near strong enough for my feelings. And the stock Atom with the center hoop only is asking for one shoulder to be ground off upside down.

Cannot get better friends than those flying the Apache. Nothing you ever do after you get out will compare...
