Default Anyone using BK Harness Bar with Hardbar seat rails?

If so how did you mount the downbars of the BK harness into the Hardbar seat rails?

I just posted up about this last week... the consensus is to lave the drivers side on out... if you're running 2 seats.... well then I guess you'll need to do some fabrication to shorten the downbar.

I just ran VIR this weekend w/o the driver's side downbar w/o issue.

I was considering using it without the downbars. Since you did not have any problems I guess I will give that a shot.

If I switch to the Hardbar cross bar, how do the stock seat belts mount to the cross bar? And does anyone know of a good fire extingusher mount for the Hardbar, since the floor mount BK doen't work with the seat rails?

^ I'm running the passenger side downbar still.... and it's fine. Not sure if I'd want to run it w/o any.

The main reason I got the BK to begine w/ is that I'm 6'4" and still wanted full seat travel w/ the stock seats. W/ the hardbar I rubbed holes in the seatbacks when driving on street and lost some recline room.

With fixed seats in the hardbar will work perfectly... yes the stock seatbelts still mount to it.

I was running with just the passenger down tube until I switched to the hardbar. With the hardbar, the seatbelts are mounted on the bar, you can where in this picture
