Well I finally got one of these second hand. Getting it on was a minor pain as I have saddlebags and the stock bolt wasn't long enough (needed one twice the length). Luckily D&D Cycles here in Norfolk hooked me up. The seat looks and feels great. I sit a lot higher than on the stock seat (maybe an inch or two). I'm 5'10" and just on the toes when stopped. The seat isn't even broken it; previous owner bought it and wrecked his ride before installing it. Therefore, maybe after breaking in a bit I'll sit somewhat lower. It's also a lot firmer than stock yet surprising comfortable. Really felt smooth while riding, even over some pretty nasty potholes. If it ever gets into the 50s around here I'll put a few hundred miles on it in one shot.

The girlfriend hasn't climbed on it yet but I'm curious of her thoughts. The passenger seat is significantly wider which she thinks she'll really enjoy. The seat is also slightly higher than stock. I have a short sissy bar on right now and it's merely a butt stop with the new seat. The bottom of the pad is almost flush with the top of the passenger seat.

If anyone cares speak up and I'll provide more info as the miles roll on.
