I don't have a rear bar installed, but when the time comes I'm going with the Belltech over the Helwig. I prefer the "U" bracket frame mounting of the Belltech over the Helwig's "Z" bracket.

I'm trying to buy one tomorrow if I can find one in town and would like to know if there's any more opinion on the Belltech/Helwig?

My spot analysis:

viewtopic.php?p=85503#p85503

I'm going to guess that the Helwig might be easier to find at a local store than the Belltech.

BTW, the bar really helps straighten out the body roll.
