It seems like there are a lot of guys out there that want these harness bars, harnesses and mounting hardware but most aren't putting much thought in to functionality or safety of the equipment they are wanting or already have.
Norm you are correct. Short belts are better. Also for people interested in restraint equipment, look at the mounting instructions for the harnesses... It's very specific in the angles of the belts and the shock load rating of the mounting points.
I'm currently waiting to hear back from Speedware on the shock load rating for their harness bar (if they even do have a rating) and the angle that shoulder belts will be at once installed. Currently BK auto is the only one who makes a certified bar. Most name brand harness manufacturers recommend a shock load of 2500lbs. for the mounting points. You got to think will this setup keep me in the seat at a 100+mph impact? Once you think of it like that... even the stock belts seem sketchy.
