Message	it's not legal for street use. A harness should ONLY be used w. a roll cage and it is NOT a DOT approved seat belt. Securing it to the RST isn't a great idea either - that mounting point is held on by 4 12 or 14mm bolts that are only tourqed to 13lbs. In the event of a accident it's very possible that you sould tear the harness & rstb clean off the posts and send it flying @ your head , in the event of a roll over you could be trapped sitting upright in the seat w. the roof crushed down on you (this is why you need a roll bar). A harness has a specific racing application, it is not a fashion statement, be aware that by treating it as such you are not only not complying w.the law but also comprimising your safety.
