Any change in seat will affect the reach to the bars and to the ground. The Russell will sit you higher in the seat.
Thanks for the link. I saw one on Amazon just now for the same price as the Kaw site.
Partzilla has it (99994-0500) for $413.79 with free shipping. Of course they may just be giving me a special deal 'cause it's me and my shopping cart ....yeah right .
