The Bickle site doesn't say this protector meets the SFI spec. I can see using it on the side bar to protect from scratches, but not in the head area as it offers no protection. Am I missing something here?
Danny, You only need padding on the roll bar if your helmet is 6 inches from contacting the roll bar only.We have 45.1 in that area of contact. Type of padding depends on ET. The carbon fiber used is not 6 inches from helmet. Hope this helps. It is in the rule book too.
