      You looking for OEM seating height, or comparison between OEM and aftermarket?

      OEM data can be scored where beherenow pointed you.
      If you're trying to compare aftermarket to OEM:
      Corbin - generally .5 - 1" lower at the rider's position on the Kats (custom pan, more supportive foam over a wider area, but the foam height is lower).
      Sergeant - generally .25 - 1" taller at the rider's position (typically .5" for standard fill, 1" typical for gel-inserts inclusive).
      Customs (Bill Meyer's, Rick Meyer's, etc.) - typically .5 inches taller than OEM because they use the OEM pan and more foam to "pillow" the seat more.

      Cheers,

        Trying to do a seat comparison between different bikes. Got my bike for sale and a couple of the interested parties are females. They are concerned about height. Wanted to use other bikes to give them a baseline. I was able to find the other bikes just not the Kat.

        Beherenow's link is good but only shows the 750. Is the seat height the same for the 600?

          I don't have any numbers, I think they might be in my manuals at home actually...

          Anyway, seat shape also determines if you can touch or not.

          I could not flat foot my pre-750, but a post 600 was no problem. The seat on the 750 is much wider and flatter where the 600 seemed a lot rounder.

          Just something else to consider. Nothing beats seat time.
