P500 Seatbelt modification for an above average height person

[Peter_72]

I’m 6’5 and the seatbelt had to come over and then down on my shoulder and was very uncomfortable. This is one of the reasons I would rarely wear it. I added a piece of angle iron and move the mount a little higher and out to the side, now it comes over my shoulder similar to the way it does in a vehicle.

Seatbelt pads are a must on these. I'm average height and it seemed like it would dig into my neck. Put them on yrs ago after @iowaguy posted them, much more comfortable.

Last time out my wife said she wanted to get the seatbelt pads, I think I’ll get a couple to try out.

2nd on the seat belt pads. Ordered them the day after my first Takeover ride. Even found some with Honda on it. They do show wear over time, I’ll order 2 sets next time.

I was 5’11”, with age I shrunk to 5’10”. I fit in my P500 nicely with legs bent at a comfortable angle. I can’t imagine a 6’5” guy sitting in mine comfortably.

Great modification and thanks for posting.

Not many things are made for us tall & fat boys so I’m used to riding like a pretzel lol

Nice job. Have you done or heard of the mod that takes the top seat and moves it back. A guy a while ago said if you take the seat out and remove the two rubber plugs it latches in with it will move the bottom of the seat back about an inch or more. He made different rubber pugs to hold it in
