Anyone have a photo that they can upload of an XB9SX (preferably Kick-Ash) with a low seat?

I'll look and see if I can find a picture. I put a low seat on my Kick-Ash XB9SX for a little while. I ended up putting an Street Fighter seat on it.

Thanks, Dutchboy. If its easier you can send it to my email address: precbsed@verizon.net

By the way, how do you like the Street Fighter seat? How much lower was the low seat than the Street Fighter?

The low seat is the same seat that is on the CG (low) models

Okay. Not having much luck finding the pictures :-(

I like the Street Fighter a lot better than the Low seat. The Low is a bit lower than the Street Fighter, but the difference in height (1/2"?) isn't enough to make up for its (pardon the pun) short-comings for me.

The Low heats up real fast and gets real hot. The Low also has very thin padding, so it gets pretty uncomfortable. It also doesn't let you scoot back very far, so once it does get uncomfortable there isn't much you can do to shift your riding position. The Low does look good.

The Street Fighter has thicker padding, so it provides better heat insulation and comfort. It lets you scoot back a bit further than the Low. I like the look too. It is somewhere between the Stock and Low seats in height, but closer to the Low than the Stock I think.

Hope this helps
