What he said ^^^
The seat backs on standard seats are not strong enough to take the compresive force that will be pushing down on your seat in the event of an accident! They will just buckle and probably buckle you too
been involved in a slightly severe accident very recently, harness's were in use, no damage to the seat nor to me, i managed to walk out of it with out even a bruise.
1)i take it your insured to use these?most ,if not all insurers will walk away.
2)from my search to find one,there is no FIA approved recliner,so why fit an FIA belt to a non FIA seat?
3)do you crash every week?
im sure cobra daytona seats are FIA approved and they recline thats why i got them. Means i can use harnesses and tilt the seat forward if i take the harneses out.
The FIA stands for Federation Internationale de l’Automobile. Make a note of this: there are no FIA-homoglated reclining seats in existence. Not even in the $700,000+ Enzo has FIA homoglated reclineables.

Maybe not mate? Stupid thing is they have the holes for the harnesses to go through, why put them there if the seats arnt meant for harnesses??
Honestly - have you taken a crashed seat and done a finite element analysis on it compared to a brand new one?
Even with no harness a 'crashed' seat would be damaged, but a normal road seat is not able to stand the vertical load
I've seen a collapsed seat because a harness was used, the occupants were very lucky not to have been badly injured.
well it was only the underside of my car that was damaged. there was no impact on the front or any panel damage, just a few bent things underneath it.
so you didn't have a 'hard' stop then?
hit something head on rather than humping armco and you'll see what I mean

the armco lit a cigarette afterwards... it loved being ridden that hard.
hard stop was on the other side of the road up a large bank.
E-mail sent to cobra. funny how i cant find anything on there web site yet all daytonas on E-bay say they are FIA aproved hum does make you wonder.
id say black harnesses with a black and grey seat
standard seats even if they are tested/safe/strong/certified whatever i've seen the inside of one and i wouldnt use harnesses on a std frame - hell i refuse to use harnesses on steel frame seats full stop std or bucket
and i'm still walking about so works fine that way for me

I think on the cobra website any seats that are FIA approved have this logo next to them,
theres some lush looking black and carbon ones on ebay with SEAT stitched in grey in the middle. They look lush! about £10er a pair i think
Here is my respons from cobra....
Hi,
Thank you for your recent e-mail. I'm afraid that the Daytona seats are
not FIA approved. Our only base mounted FIA approved race seat is the
Monaco S, which retail from £139 each including VAT and carriage.
Best Regards,
Doh ! why bother with the harness slots if they arnt strong enough to use them
