But you can use the rollbar as a frame to hold a wind deflector.  Amazing
how much wind comes from behind when you're cruising.

of flying dirt and gravel, but no significant damage.  But...it got me
wondering about roll-overs.  I've seen a couple of designs.  Any feelings
about what is best? Aesthetics, safety, value?
