I have been working on this idea for quite a while, how to attach a 5th point/sub belt to the stock seat. I like the convenience of the electric seat, the bolster support is good enough for most use and the comfort is fantastic for road trips! I pull the bottom seat cusion when I am on the track to give me clearance for my helmet, so I have been looking for an option to securely mount a 5 point harness that does not interfer with any of the things I like about the stock set up.
Here is what I came up with:
I used the 2 bolts which mount the rails to the bottom of the seat to attach a chromoly tube with end plates welded on, used longer bolts and locking nuts to secure the tube in place. All stock electrics clear and the connectors will fit between the tube and the seat bottom.
I needed to make a hole in the aluminum seat bottom, which I did by drilling 3 1" holes with a hole saw, and grinding between the holes. The slotted hole had sharp edges I put a finishing plastic moulding on, bought from the local trailer supply store.
The install took about a hour, including taking the seat out. Very clean and the sub belt can lay under the seat front when not in use. The location is perfect for the gap in a Dali seat cusion, putting just enough forward angle to the sub belt to keep the waist belt on my hips and protect the family jewels during hard braking.
I will see about producing these for market if there is interest.
