I can't recall where I heard/read it, and can't verify if its true, but 
apparently the Stag's 'T-Bar' was a development of a broomstick used during 
testing of prototypes. The prototypes had such large scuttle shake that the 
engineers testing them jammed a broom where the 'T-Bar' now is. That reduced 
scuttle shake and the engineers decided to incorporate it into the 
production models. Triumph of course billed it as a 'Saftey feature', but 
saftey was only a ancillary reason for the roof.

Cheers,
