Buschur's Quick-Release Harness Bar Final Production Run

FINAL PRODUCTION RUN/GROUP BUY - OVER!!

Are any of you guys interested in Buschur's Quick-Release Harness bar? It's a harness bar you can QUICKLY remove WITHOUT tools - benefits being obvious.

This is the ONLY harness bar for a street evo/weekend warrior, where you can actually retain the function of the back seats for your normal driving purposes. (After using the quick release to take it off)
For those of us who want more than a CG lock but less than a permanent harness bar or cage, and don't want rear seat passengers wearing helmets every time they get in the car..
Also provides some chassis support in what is otherwise the most open part of the chassis

For anyone interested in building a "street" evo that will still do autocross and trackdays, I think it's an innovative part for what I thought was a fairly big market.

Just because we are consumers, doesn't mean that we need to accept every price offered by vendors. I think Mr. Buschur should give us a valid reason why such a huge price hike, especially for a group buy, before anyone purchases one. The difference in gross revenue off of the old prices is $1500 vs. $2375 new price, assuming 5 orders. The cost of materials couldn't have gone up that much...

$300 was blowout pricing to get rid of them, and at cost.. from what it seems he either wants to make 5 for 475 a piece or won't bother with them at all. 475 was the original price

Better question is, could you build and sell them for less? If not, then his price is justifiable.

I think I'd be interested in this bar for $475. I have almost the same bar but I could use it having a quick disconnect.

Depends on how much profit you want - seems like $300 was breakeven for whatever production numbers were originally. I don't think cost is any higher, but I think it's just not worth the hassle for him unless he'll make original profit off of it. He said the producer had some of the spare portions just lying around.

Dam I wish I had gotten one at the $300 dollar price, I like the idea a lot but I cant afford the $475. Rent in NYC kills all of my extra money for the moment.

I know, I was hoping Dave would come somewhere in between to make it a little easier to swallow for those of us who missed the deal (and even put calls in for orders at that time) but it seems its just not worth it.

I want one of these. I just don't have the funds for it.

There are a few things I wanted to get before this, but if he is ONLY going to make 5 more I may have to move it up the list a bit.

I'm def Interested alot keep me posted. I'd just like to know as well what do I have to do to install these? and 475 seems pretty high considering I'd still be out the harness for the seat as well...looking at almost 800-1000 bucks for this... Also how strong are these quick release pins? I mean if (lord forbid) I was to get into a bad roll would these withstand the impact and not make me a box of kleenex being tossed around inside my car?
