OP, no matter how secure it "feels", it is not designed to hold up to the massive forces applied in an accident. No matter how good the harness is, it will not help when the harness bar gets ripped off its mountings. You will die, or worse, live and be crippled.

Taking the chance is just plain retarded. Full roll cage with the harness or stock belts. Those are your safe options.

The stock belts are still there and useable. I just feel far more secure with the harness. There will be no accidents. I have had just two majors both probably
before you were born. Neither were my fault. And I will not have another. Trust me on that. On a motorcycle is another story and I don't ride as I did years ago. My shinny side will remain up and my dirty side shall always remain down. Nonetheless, your comments are appreciated and noted. Us
retards shall always survive, my friend. LOL.

Ummmmmmmmmm... So... Your car is never leaving your garage? Noted.


What I'm saying is that while the Amuse bar is beautiful, in any sort of accident, you're going to wish you didn't have that thing. It's held in by the OEM mounts and is held in with OEM hardware. And the bar itself is held on the it's mounts WITH HOSE CLAMPS... Oh, and the bar is made out of really thin titanium... So it's going to crumple like the titanium can it is.

It's not thin titanium, it's reinforced because of the harness bolts. The bar is bolted in. No hose claps allowed! I will be safe. I promise that you will not have to either attend my funeral or visit me in the hospital, ok? LOL Peace out, my Z Brother. I am going home.

Ummmmmm... It's thin as shít titanium...

That outer titanium uses hose clamps to hold the end pieces...

The end pieces use the OEMS mounts that hold the OEMS bars in...


There is no debate here. Those are the facts...
