I bought a 6 point bar and only put in the main hoop and rear braces and have been running it that way since 1999, it has always passed tech.

Just be nice to them and they seem to let you get away with a little more. unlike me i have had a few words with them and last time i got kicked out for running three hundredths under what I teched for. Before I have gotten a couple of warnings.
