How do you do with the broomstick test and that bar? Also, how tall are you?
I'm looking to install a bar for trackdays. I want to be legal for the track (for fun track days -- not racing) but still have a good street machine. My local track, MSR-C, requires a roll bar that passes the broomstick test to run. I'm 5'10". I'm just wondering if any of these bars really pass a broomstick test with stock seats. Swapping in a race seat and 5-point for track days wouldn't be out of the question -- maybe that's what I need to do.

I can help with this question. I am 5 10 like you and I just put in a M2 Sport DD in my 01 and I sit with my head brushing the roof. With a helmet I cannot fit with the top up so there is no way I would pass a broomstick test. I do have a long torso so that definitely affects the fit. As in I sit with seat several clicks in from the back but my head is still on the roof. I definitely think you would need a lower seat. I bought one but it hasnt come in yet. I will let you know how it improves my driving position and broomstick clearance.
