Harness Set Up Tips

[skdvr]

I just got my BP/W yesterday, well I do not have the BP yet. It will be here on Fri. I know that setting up the harness (1st time) will be a pain in the but. I was wondering if there are any tips that anyone can share that may make my life a little easier when I do get the BP.

Thanks

I used this page to help set up my BP/W, and it was easy to do.

Thanks, that will help.

You can go here to get it fitted properly as well.

Thanks, I was actually just looking at the site. I think it was CompuDude that had a link to that site for a different thread. I went to it and then saw the back plate adjustment page.

I am dreading doing this but I am sure it will be OK.

It's not the bad. I followed those same 2 links when I set mine up. I spent less than an hour getting it all together. The first time I went diving with it I had to adjust the crotch strap a bit and I haven't touched it since.

Well i am going to give it a shot either tonight or tomorrow morning and I will let you all know how it turns out. I hope to be able to get in the pool on Sun...

If you don't mind, what BP/W setup did you get?

What back plate? What wing? What harness? Did you get a STA or no STA? (single tank adapter)

If you want some personal help, send me a PM and I'll give you my number and try to help you all I can.

I got an OxyCheq Signature Series Single Wing and a dive rite basic harness from ST and then I got a Hammerhead SS plate with a 2 piece STA.

I appreciate the offer on the help (that is why I love these boards). A buddy of mine that lives pretty close said that I could bring it over to his place if I need some help.

Well I got it all put together. It was not to bad. I did have to take it apart a few times because I forgot to do something. I had a recommendation from a friend to put a piece of a innertube where the webbing goes through the plate. I forgot to do that originally so I took it back apart to put those in there. I got everything adjusted just right (I think) so I am ready to get the darn thing in the water. I also put a small piece of the innertube on my belt so that I can tuck the extra for right now. I do not want to cut anything just yet until I have dove it a few times and know I have it adjusted the way that I want it.
