WE WERE SOOOOOOO close to getting a Mussa bar to work with the RDs. SOOO close. I drove down there today, to see if I might be able to offer the front strut bar at half price by supplying you guys with Mussa Bars. I could have sworn for soo long that strut bars would be compatible. Sad to say, nope.

Take a look. The bars are simply too long. But just barely. Enough that you couldn't modify the existing parts from Mussa to make it work. You kind of could, but in the process you'd loose the bracing for the strut bar, which is the whole point to it. Take a look for yourself, This is what the bar looks like installed in a GK...



Now the sad part. Its sooo close. Both pics have the passenger side bracket on, and the drivers side barely off by an inch or two...

Chris, I don't have any bar actually to run a test, but what if you flip that Mussa bar over, and pass it in front of the IM/AirRam instead of passing it through the rear...

I mean, instead of having this:

/------\ you turn it to the front ----> \---------/ and flip it over so it doesn't raise from the strut points up, but it goes down... would it fit? Of course you would have to make custom mounting brackets, but at least you could use the bar...

and if not the Mussa bar, maybe some other brand bar can be flipped over and fit?

Uhm.

Mussa? I don't want to support them, they don't support us anymore.

BTW, couldn't they just make new brackets?

guys, I tested like 4 bars, different brackets etc. I was just making sure I couldn't get these for half the price to save you guys on cash.

BUT... I couldn't I cam somewhat close, but to comission a part for just the brackets to be made, and use Mussas bar with Mussas name, I'd be dumb.

Again it was just a test, that failed, and FlyRyde will have our own bars that fit RDs with AirRams bolt on.
