My recommendation:
Don't even think of mounting it. I had the same thing and the mounting
points on the frame broke off due to vibration after only few
thousend miles.

Now I have a damaged frame. I reported this to this lists and there
were many who had the same problem. 
You like your AT? -> Don't mount a Five Stars Crash Bar.
