Default Roll bar padding

I have been doing some searching for some roll bar padding for the door bars on my Wolfe 6 point. I want to cover the entire door bar, and will need atleast 4 feet to do this. All of the padding I have found to buy is only sold in 3 foot sections. Does anybody know where to get it in 4-6 foot sections?

There isn't much of a description on this stuff. I wonder if it is the cheap flammable crap

Go to Summit or Jegs and get good padding. It's not something to mess around with.

This I know ^^^ But I want it in longer than a 3 ft section. Maybe I can get a custom cover made for it to hide the fact that it won't be 1 solid piece.

I would just cut the padding and put the seam down towards the end of the bar. Or, just don't pad the part that's by your feet.

Depending on how it was made you may, or may not have the room for the legal SFI padding that you're supposed to run... the foam "pool noodle" isn't a legal padding fwiw, but it looks like you're not looking into that since all the stuff you're finding is in 3 foot length's so that's good.

That crap that the link above goes to is garbage I wouldn't put that on my lawnmower handle. It's not even made for the right diameter tubing #1, and I'm sure it's flammable as hell, and probably offers little to zero actual protection. It's ricer junk.

It is a Wolfe 6pt weld in. I will probably end up sticking a 3 foot piece on it, just don't want to. I want it to cover the whole thing, I think it looks kinda goofy only covering a portion of the bar.
