Hey guys,
When I swapped on the standard S tail onto my Ss, I ended up with a low cut seat. It's smooth leather, and really low. So much so, that it's a bit tight for me now with the rearsets I'm running.
My question is, how much higher is a standard S seat, and how much higher is a city x seat??

Once I know this, I'll be looking to trade to the higher seat. My low seat is in good shape. Thanks in advance.
TK

I had the low seat at first then put a standard seat on and the biggest difference was the padding. The low seat was hard on my ass but the standard is real soft. As far as height, I barly noticed a difference. I'm 5'9" and I can still put both feet flat on the ground. My only experience with the cityX is when I sat on it at a dealer, I was on tip toes, both feet.
