       I have never messed with a "street" bar so I have nothing I can 
measure for comparison purposes.  Street bars are quite worthless, in my not 
at all humble opinion.
       There was a spider at the Copper Mountain Colorado convention that 
hauled the roll bar on a bike rack mounted to the rear bumper.  I saw them 
leaving the convention and thought that was a good way to go.
       Or build a trailer to haul race tires, roll bar and maybe even some 
camping gear.  The trailer I built has a DeDion axle and tracks nicely up to 
at least 100 mph.
