RodKnock is right about the roll bars. On the street, an unpadded roll bar is more dangerous than no roll bar at all. When I think back on all the Cobra accidents we've had on here for the last decade, I can only think of one street roll over (and it was more of a "roll on to the side"). OTOH, I can think of a couple of front end, and rear end, pops where the occupants whacked their heads in to the roll bar. I can remember one where the guy hit the curb in front of the country club and the BFT to the head put him in the ER. Remember, BFT is a BFD.
