There are a few design flaws in the Kirk bars that I'm unfortunately all too familiar with.
1-they bolt into the floor boards, which I'm not all too crazy about
2-the removable crossbrace fit very poorly in at least one case that I know of
3-the rear legs attach to the inner wheel well but the plate on the leg is flat, and if you bolt them up very tight, it begins to deform the wheel well. This can be overcome by hammering the plate to conform to the contour of the well
4-shipping from AL can be expensive and the paint will be scratched when it arrives (they are painted black)
For the price, they're decent bars. They fit nice and tight to the roof and the pillar until you're about half way down, it then slopes inward so it separates from the pillar as you get closer to the floor.
When I got mine, I called to question them on the rear leg mounts and they indicated they'd fix it but I'm not sure if they ever did. If I were to do it again (which I'll likely be doing soon), I'd go with the VSR.Driving is the only way to go faster....
