If you don't and you roll over quickly you might end up giving "the signal."

(full disclosure, my regular passenger is my wife and I kind of like her).

Any padding, even if for helmet use is better than a naked bar
Sorry to revive and old thread, but I am super curious what Hard Dog roll bar you had?
it looks like the Ace might be low enough where the top of NB2 seats sit level with the bar preventing a head collision, but I can’t say for sure.

The Ace doesn't have the necessary components to be track legal so it wouldn't be worth installing, if I recall correctly.
