purchased the 6 point harness and it finally arrived. Kawasaki says 90 minutes to install but I don't see how that is possible as it took me nearly 3 hours.
Here are a few tips about the install:
1. The bolts that hold down the seat railing to the frame are different lengths so pay attention
2. A few only videos say to use a cut off wheel on your dremel, Dont as it will melt the plastic and look like shit.
Instead use a dremel bit as it will cut and shaved the plastic without melting it
3. The mounting brackets will appear to not fit in the cut out area but go ahead and get bolts threadEd and the bracket will fall into place
4. Videos show removing the center console but you don't have to, instead remove the plastic pop rivets and Phillips head screwdriver around center console and the electrical connection is accessible

It seat belts are well made and look great

Did the cross bar and all hardware come with the retractable belts?

Also, cut the plastic outside the molded in lines.

Thanks…..was it worth it? Many options out there and just wondering if Kawasaki is good. I had Simpson in my General and hated them.

I think so. I got them on a black Friday deal straight from Kawi for around 400 bucks. They are much more comfortable and convenient than any thing else I have had.

An oscillating multi tool works best for cutting out the fire wall.

Do you or anyone have photos behind the seat? I've found everything I install on this buggy to take twice as long and just installed the cab dust kit. Wondering if I will need to do anything to that. Thanks.

for the click 6, use a dremel tool and cut off wheel. Cut 1/8" outside the lines for the harness bracket.

I used a large drill bit and drilled the 4 corners then connected the holes with a dremel. After getting the general shape I finished the holes with a circular sandpaper wheel on the dremel. I took it slow and test fit several times and slowly enlarged the holes until the bars fit. Overall, I really like the Kawasaki harnesses.

Here is a link to my thread about the click 6 harnesses I mounted, including all the pictures I have of it.

Harness Up

Decided to give the Kawasaki Click 6 harness setup a try. The retractable shoulder straps that allow you to move around are a game changer for me, and my wife as well. The last harness I owned I had mounted in my '97 Corvette that I did some racing in. If I forgot to partially close my door when...

I’ve got started on installing the seat belts. The problem I’m having is that I can’t get the bolts started in the bracket toward the middle of the KRX. Actually none of the bolts fit too well. Any help I would appreciate. The bolts just will not catch any threads at all

When I installed mine I chased all the welded nuts with a tap. I found that some of the nuts were not welded exactly centered on the holes. Also seems some paint from the factory was filling the threads.

Thanks for the info. That’s my exact plan for tomorrow. It was driving me nuts trying to get it started.
