Flexi 55cm bar w/pulley

Got this Flexifoil 55cm pulley bar in the mail today.
Was planning on using it on my 5.5 meter Bullet, with a harness--
in the buggy.
Has anyone ever used this combo before ???
posting a picture--also will this loop at the bottom work with a roller spreader bar? or is there something missing?
was just wondering what to expect. Thanks.......Herb

My 4.5 Bullet HATES being on a bar but I'm somewhat pleased with the 7m Bullet on a bar. The bar set-up I use is a bit different than what you have. Less weight on the brakes + the larger size may make it work. Be ready to give up a lot in brake control !

The loop on the bar looks like an HQ D-loop with safety release. Sure it will hook into a normal spreader bar or a roller bar, but the funcion of the roller will be moot and just act as a hook of course.
