Took the new bench seat out this weekend. VERY comfy for the rear riders. That seat is a back rest from a 700 mounted to a 2x6. Comes out with 1 bolt, that is already existing between the seats. Can also squeeze in a 3rd rider. I also modified the front seat belt brackets to get a 3rd child up front. 700-6. 👍

Cool idea. I'd be curious to know how you modified the front seat belt brackets. They're a pain for a small center rider.

I unbolted them and replaced them with 3 or 4 links of heavy duty chain. Now they are flexible like a regular seat belt strap. I'll see if I have some pics.
Found a pic. It's one link of chain clipped into a small quick link and that is clipped into a large quick link that you can barely see. The other end of that large quick link is just bolted in where the bracket came out.

What a great idea: how did you modify the front seat for a third seat belt?

For the FRONT seat seat belt I ordered a 3 point harness. The 2 lap sides of the belt just tied into the chain links for the driver and passenger belt. (see the pic above). The 3rd point that Y's over both shoulders, I tied into the bolt at the center on the back of the front seat backrest. I just had to buy a longer bolt.

Any chance we can see how you mounted the seat on 2x6 and to the pioneer?
