The 900s were - thankfully - changed in the 1981 model year to the "common" style. Presumably the 99s as well, but we didn't get the 99s in the USofA in 1981.
The reason I say thankfully, is that you can never tighten the 71-80 style across your hips, such as when you're going into some fun twisties. When I worked on my last 99, I swapped the driver side out for a later 900 style. Much more secure...
Actually, you could tighten them... It required you to recline the seat, yank the belt out as in a crash, then un-recline the seat until the belt is tight about you... It works, but it's not so quick to do...
