Installed 5 way Teamtech Harness yesterday. I have a 20+ inch neck and the straps cut me from both sides. Any suggestions?

Ok, now I'll go run and hide just in case it's 20" of muscle...

Well, actually, I'm abougt 135 lbs and a 15" neck. It cuts me too. They do make some pads you can put on that make it more comfortable. Sometimes I ran the inboard belt around the seat instead of through it. I don't know how safe that is though, so can't really recommend it.

You can try those harness pads???

I lifted my shirt collar then folded it down over the shoulder belts. Helped a bit.
You should also try the 6 point option. Considerably better than 5 points especially with stock Viper seats.
No install required, just snap into the lap belt eyebolts.

Use harness pads like these at Partsrack. The material is very soft and doesn't chafe your neck like the nylon in the harness straps.

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!!!
295 LBS - 6"1" - BIKER
I also installed the 1" lowering kit since my head hit the roof with a helmet on. However, I do not think the new angle from the bolster is the problem.
Is it within the rules to bring the shoulder harnesses around the side of the seats as ANDY suggested??

I would NOT recommend doing that, HOGDEALER...if I envision your suggestion correctly, would fear LACK of proper restraint, and INCREASED risk of injury...also doubt you'd pass tech inspection...just my opinion an occasional "track doc" in former years.

I had the same feeling around the neck, they do loosen up when broke in. Use a collared shirt as mentioned above. Or better yet a Hans Device will take car of your worries of a neck rub.
