Are you talking about accolade's Evo IX conversion kit or RRM's Evo IX style kit?

Im pretty sure the RRM evo 9 style bumper keeps the safety bar just from the pic's I have seen, it looks like it sticks out far enough.It looks like it's really wide though on the sides ,I wasn't sure about the Accolade one.

I been looking at the e9 kit RRM sells and it looks sick.
