Keep push bar or not?

(1/2) > >>

Mister_Fitz:
Hi
My FED is supposed have been built 1966 and still have the old push bar in place.
I have always liked the look of the push bar in the back of a FED. But later I have started to think about if the push bar is making the FED less safe in case of a crash.
Are there any one else out there that has kept their push bar? Or is it recommended to remove them?

I see you point about backing the car into a wall with a pushbar.  It would be a one in a million shot, but the penalty is huge.  I love the look.  Tough call!

95% of us have a wheelie bar mounted back there I see no real difference

Rear upright should be thicker tubing/double wall

I have a single lower bar and two upper bars. I've seen them reversed, and i think of the damage it could do
