New seats for the Ruby!!
I just ordered new seats and belts for the ruby. What do ya guys thinK??
I do have a question for the owners of the Hardbar. How do you like it and do you feel it is a good quality piece of equipment. It is nearly 100 less than the R-D cross bar and I want to make sure it will work well as a fastening point for the overshoulder belts
The Seats:
And the belts:

Re: New seats for the Ruby!! (devilfish)
The (2)seats and the (2)brakets were right at 550 shipped to my door. The (2)belts another 110. Not bad at all considering some of the other seats I was looking at were 500 each with out brakets or belts.
All in all I feel it was a good deal... :yesnod:

I don't know about the Hardbar but the R-d Racing Cross Bar is a great anchor point for my 5-point harness. I hope to get seats like that soon. Good luck!! Let us know how well they fit. :cheers:

I have the Arizona Speed and Marine harness bar in mine. Works will for me.
It bolts up to the shoulder harness bolt hole.

So the AS&M bar has the bolts already mounted for quick hookup of the belts. There is a way to mount the belts with just the sliders and rapping the belt but I would like to bolt them. Thanks for the info

Yes, the AS&M comes with bolts already mounted so all you do is have to bolt the shoulder harness up to the bar.

Re: New seats for the Ruby!! (Ruby6spd)
I have a Forza in the driver's side. It is quite tolerable on the street. Do agree on getting set of belts as the OEM belts really aren't safe with this seat as they don't go thru the hip holes...leaving slack between you and the belt.
I do find that I need even more support than this seat offers. I will be getting on of those $500 plus jobs you mentioned...move this one to the passenger side.
For the price-a good deal.
