I am thinking of replacing standard seat belts with harnesses. Will a harness work with standard seats?

Might be something in some of these threads to help you out.
4 point Corbeau Harnesses, Sparco, Beard, Tanaka or PRP
Anyone install 4pt. harnesses and keep the factory seats?

One thing that I have noticed about the search feature is that if you are in a certain category when you search, sometimes it only searches that individual category instead of the entire Forum. You just have to be on the main form page when you do a search to get the widest array of hits on a keyword.

Okie Dokie will make sure that is how I search, appreciate it.

My 2 cents on harnesses... If you use a sternum strap, a 4/5 point harness will stay in place and work with stock seats. But, it's not just about the harness... Wearing a harness subjects your neck to incredible strain if you hit something or if something hits you. Myself, I use a Hans device with my helmet when using a harness -- these keep your neck from overextending in a high-G stop. They also make it difficult to swivel your head around, so it's not optimal using one while driving in lots of cross traffic.
The standard seat belts on the Slingshot will "bend/throw" your torso towards the inside of the cab in a high-G stop. Which is perferable to throwing your torso towards the outside of the vehicle I guess. But, either way the driver's head or torso is going to impact the steering wheel first. A 4/5 point harness will prevent this, but I'd strongly recommend using one with a Hans device.
