What's the purpose of your post? Are you posting to get our thoughts on the rollbar?

Me personally, I'd like to see a diagonal for the main hoop, and the rear downtubes tie directly to the shock towers so as to put the mounting plates into axial compression loading in a wreck. Right now it looks like they'd most likely see shear loading.

carry on...

Main hoop needs a diagonal, and the rear supports should go to the chassis, not to the rear tower brace.
