Spittin', if all else fails, look up your model on the mfr's website and see if it is FIA rated. FIA rated seats usually say so...

You may want to call the manufacturer to see if they can tell you if it's FIA tested or not.

Same place for my OMP seats.

John-What seat are you using now? I thought I saw that you were selling your OMPs.

I'm using the OMP Extra seat. I'm selling one of them.

Bryan, no worries at all, man, that is why we have the talks about this stuff that we do. Even with all the info, I still tend to be partial to an aluminum seat over the fiberglass seat. What I meant about the Kirkeys being similar was the basic design, i.e. hip and rip supports.

I will be the first to say that the Butler seats are awesome and the guys are super nice and will make it to fit you perfectly. Plus, the way they reinforce them is incredible. The kirkey that I use now does have shoulder braces that can be added, which I am thinking about, but I am curious as to how much they would restrict arm movement. After reading all of this and looking at Tom's link, I am REALLY thinking about how to go to Butler and have them make me my own personal cocoon.
