I went with Cantrell and am very happy. It really is a clean setup. The textured black I got blends in with the interior. With current options and inability to spec the factory version here in the US I favor either Cantrell or Speed Sport versions.

Good luck with your ongoing setup.

Dude! What's your tourniquet time for a total knee? 17 minutes?

LOL! I don't do total knees anymore, but I can fix a fractured hip or ankle in less than 17 minutes.

ah, captured the wrong picture Ortho. I meant that Racetech seat. I wasn't able to get the LWB's so I'm looking for a seat that fits the GT4 and works for road and track.

RT4900W

Heres more details on seats that fit. This was my short list for consideration and I did all the data gathering to make sure I didnt buy something that wouldn't fit.
The Sparco Ergo would have been a great option with the fake halo, but alas it wont fit.

The 4000 is wider in general, I think has a little more natural backwards rake and has less aggressive thigh bolsters. The 4009 also has removable pads, which was important for me as with a helmet, I need to pull the bottom cushion out to prevent hitting the roof.
