That side-to-side bar... is to lock in suitcase weights.
That makes sense, I had always wondered what was used to retain the weights besides gravity. It's a nuisance to pull all 5 off when I'm towing it somewhere, but I wouldn't want one to bounce off. Catching one of those through the windshield would ruin someone's day, permanently.
Thinking on it, I'm not even sure my 186 has the brackets. I know there isn't a bar.
