DP performance seat height vs. stock

[sparkyguy123]

Hey folks:
Can anyone advise on whether the Hypermotard DP performance seat height is higher or lower than the stock seat? Any idea what the measurements are for both ? Thanks,

Just measured mine.

DP seat is 34". It's about 1/2 an inch lower than standard' not much.

But the seating position is better, I think!

Greetings,

I have run both on my 08 hyper S and although I am 6 foot tall and 230 with gear, I can't tell a difference in the DP race and the stock seat height....even when swinging my leg over the saddle.

I also ride off road and all of my dirt bike seat heights are in the 36 to 37 inches in height...so I may be de-sensitized to the seat height

Run either!!!

Best regards,

I found mine felt a good deal lower, eventhough it is prob. only 1/2 and inch. I absolutly recommend it though- like said before the seating posistion is better, the little boulster in the back works great, looks sexy, and I feel I have a much easier time getting a knee down w/ the DP.

+1 deffinitely round 1/2 inch lower better position in the saddle.

Bummer, the local stealership told me the DP racing seat was higher and narrower which is what I wanted... glad I didn't buy it yet.

Are there any seats that are higher than stock? If not, anyone have a suggestion of someone that can redo the stock for another 1" or so of height?

The touring seat is about 1" lower than stock.
