    Wouldnt putting a tower bar make the top had mod alot more safe? To me that would solve any added stress due to the rise the top hat mod gives.

    I personally don't think so. In fact I think the bar would make it worse. When a bar is added to bridge the towers, under cornering it puts a lateral stress on the towers. With a longer bolt just floating out in outer space under your hood, there's a much better chance of bending it when you apply lateral stress.
