its much more rigid than most FSTBs because he uses steel instead of aluminum. Dont worry about it...just get it. There are no other alternatives unless you make it yourself.

I wish I had one... plus there's no worries with Matt's stuff. It's nice when you can ask the guy right here. You also get to know him. Better than any major company. Talking to 5 different people on phones and emails.

It is definitely NOT flimsy. It is very well made.

as everyone else said..

only problem is I'm out of stock on them right now.

I'm working on making up another batch, but it's going to be a few weeks before they're ready. parts are at the fab shop now.. when the brackets are done being laser cut, then I weld them up and send them to the powdercoater.
It's a long, slow process sometimes. whee.

Ever get around to making that modification we talked about? Or did I get an older style? I can't remember.

only nag I got is the price. I have the Otto bar which is identical to the Stillen bar at a good bit cheaper.

Well I say that but I havent really looked at the stillen site in a while. The Otto runs about $50 shipped though.

Forget the stillen. Just buy the Otto and put the difference towards the rear Flemco rstb.

What about some of those parts you were telling me about in the other thread? I may still be a Noob compared to your posts... but I love custom stuff. That's why I'm doing the hood scoop.
