Hi guys.... I'm the original owner of this seat. Sorry it didn't work for you either Buzz. He's exactly right on the specs Russell used. Build date was just in May and I got it back in early June and road it twice. Between us two, this seat doesn't even have the required break-in miles. We're the same height, but Buzz is built differently, has much longer legs. I'm a 31" inseam and was on the end of my toenails at standstill. Reach to the bars was OK for me.... but one ride stuck in stop and go traffic on I-70 for over an hr really was the limit for me.
This seat IS ridiculously comfortable just as Buzz states. I would bet it adds 2.5" to the height over stock, and with 31" inseam on a good day, I would need some Herman Munster shoes to make it work.
I think the price is great for someone this seat fits. It was all-in, including shipping my stock seat and the Russell back to my doorstep..... over $600.
I've bought the 2015 Kawi touring seat and like it a lot so far. Better than my Sargent.... which I still have for sale on ebay....
