Rob, not sure if it would work for your bimini, but when I bought my bimini off eBay last year the company that I got it from offered an option of 2 extra SS rods for additional support at a decent price. I got them and I like them. Very high quality 1" Anodized Alum with all fittings. I'll look up the name and post it here in case you want to get in touch with them on their website.

Sorry Rob, took a while to find them, The company that I got my Bimini from is Boatarama online. http://www.ebay.com/sch/boatarama/m....&_trksid=p3984 They actually carry a rocket launcher kit much like the one you have... might even be the same company.. but if you buy their rocket launcher kit they also give you an optional set of rear support poles for free...
At any rate, if you're looking for support poles, I highly recommend these guys.. fast shipping, fair prices and the bimini I got from them was a top quality unit for the price. And I love the 1" double walled tubing they use for their frames. Very, very strong.

The fabric is not the worlds best/thickest kinda stuff, but it's good and it's waterproof, and for the money I figured that if I got 3 years out of it I'd be happy... the quality of the frame is top notch though...sturdy, good hardware, etc etc. I think you'll be pleased with what you get :)

I'll picture/post what comes in the mail...having had a flimsy frame in the past, this one sounds pretty good to me...
