That harness bar is way to low IMO.

Also, if your going fixed seat and harness you really need some form of ROPS (roll over protection), i.e. roll cage, because in the the event of a roll over, due to being locked in upright from the harness, without ROPS, your head and neck will now be the things taking the hit.
