the irony for me is that i changed mine out and now i only use the lap belt because it takes too freakin long to get the whole thing put on (and off) if just doing light riding.

X2..Do a search on this site..I think in the Glamis section. There is Youtube clip of a guy rolling his ride/door flying open/him partially hanging out..his passenger has her belt on the right way and stays put..while ur at it..a helmet wouldn't hurt either!! My .02
