I've received a few requests for harness bars over the last few months and wanted to gauge interest. I have samples from all of the "usual suspects" in my possession for reference.

First question............Is there interest in a cost effective alternative?

Second............What enhancements or adjustments would you like over the "other guys"?

And finally.........What is a reasonable price for such an animal?

I could start production as early as next week on 914, 911 and 944 bars, but wanted to ask for feedback before I stuck my neck out on this one.


Thank you in advance for your input.

McMark, thank you for your concern. I have the big "L " word covered. Tow bars, tie down eyes and harness bars all have a similar level of liability.

If the harness bars turn out as nicely as some of David's other products, like the tow bar bracket, then these should be a great piece at a great price. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
