The SEB answered this one again this year (it keeps coming up). In essence:
1) *If* the bar serves to stiffen the chassis, it isn't legal.
2) The manufacturer claims it stiffens the chassis.
You gotta decide whether you believe the manufacturer or not.

Subject: Re: [evolution-disc.] Harness bar...
Teh old rule had the word "Telescoping" in the harness
bar description. Tha was removed. But the "no other
purpose" statement remains. But I would think a
simple bar running between the shoulder belt mounts
would not add any significant chassis stiffening, but
if you triangulate it...
