I'm not sure there is a difference mgm, other than price. We'll see. If you see a TF rear bar for sale soon, you'll know. I'm gonna try and swap them at the track, should be pretty easy... One practice run on each, and then the 3rd run and the timed runs on the one that feels better.

I THINK the TF bar is going to be stiffer, but I'm not real smart when it comes to suspension load transferring and such...

...and no, that's not the actual product pictured.

That should be a good test...if it is only the ONE bar, like the TF one, I wouldn't imagine there'd be much of a difference. If Progress is onto something, with shoring up another suspension point, THAT could be your difference.

Anxiously awaiting your results, nonetheless...this "test" isn't going to take as long as the JBP SS brake lines install, is it?

ME too! He wanted to put the GMPP rotors on first, and go through a race or two with THEM...I'm thinking we're about close to being able to knock down his door demanding the test-fit and results!!!

Of course...he's only had them for like 6 months, so the layer of dust can't be more than 1/4" think.
