Since the cage is going in this week sometime just wondering what everyone opinion on 5 point vs 4 point harness for seat belts. Just starting to get to the concerns the Fiance had about the rig.

4 point or 5 point harness

That's purely preference I think. We usually aren't high speed, and sit up more straight, so I think the chances of sliding out the bottom in a crash are pretty low. But then again, if you have a 5 point you can always only use 4 points if you want. I think it just matters what you want.
hmm didn't think of that. I guess which ever I get a good deal on is what I'll end up putting in.
you need a hole in the seat for the crotch strap, but it can help hold the lap belt down in place.
Course your skinny so it shouldn't be a problem for you, but yes more pleasantly plump fellows the lap belt will kind of ride up the Buddha belly a bit

one that is not going to be a hassle whenever you want to get in and out of the ride often, like to see the area or walk a trail or whatever, if it becomes too much of a hassle to unbuckle a bunch of latches or whatever, ya might just start saying screw it and not put them on.
Just a basic seatbelt system in my opinion would work for trail riding or lower speed stuff, something to keep you in the seat if a tip over or worse a complete roll over.
I know from riding in my Burb with the factory seatbelt is much easier, quicker to fasten, and will hold me in place if a tip or roll over occurs, I have ridden in a few with multi-point belts systems, and it was weird and awkqard having to undo everything and refasten everything everytime I wanted to get out, so you either start thinking, i'll just sit here and guess, or you're always fighting with belts..

I wasn't really saying to use regular belts, just using them as an example of easier operation type belts. I would say the 4 point would be sufficient, just find something that's simple to unbuckle and rebuckle...
Purchased 2 crow 4 points from ebay. Fancy purple color so the fiance aproves the purchase

these are what I'm putting in my kids 72. they look simple to operate and can be wrapped around the back of the seat and out of the way for everyday use. plus cheap

I'm gonna run Crowe's 3" 3 point setup in black..
I got mine from racers that have to update their belts, nothing wrong with em, and less than 1/2 price. I got 5 points, but will only use 4, as the Stupid Duty seats dont' have a hole in em...yet.
