Has anybody tried swapping these seats to find out if the cg seat will lower the overall seat height on a regular 12s? Is it even possible?

I have a Scg and both seats. With the Scg seat I use a Odie heat shield under it and just leave it for the other one. I'm going to send it to Spencers to have it redone also.

CG seat does lower the seating height of the rider, though you need the suspension (springs and valves) to get the full "Scg" ride height.

The seat is about 1/3 of the lowering. The difference is the reduction in seat padding (as far as I know).

A second option is to get your stock S seat redone by a custom seat person.
