I think Sam should go for the Seven or check around for other sources.
ADDCO bars use cheap rubber bushings, charge extra for urathane
bushings, but the design, at least for my Spridget, is clunky, mushy,
binding, fragile garbage. My heim-joint and nylon-bushed bar from
Winners's Circle is so much tighter and better designed and made than
either the ADDCO bar I had on there or the ones pictured in their new
catalog that it is amazing. The price is about the same. I would
call and find out what fittings Seven uses on these bars. If they're
heim-style ball-end joints, there is no contest.
