Do you mind sharing any information about the seat in this photo? How tall are you if you don't mind me asking? Either you're really large or the seat is perfectly sized. I ask this because my stock (?) seat is HUGE with me on it!!! Of course, I'm only 5'9", 150 lbs. (175 cm, 68 kg.) This is what I was hoping to achieve with my kz400.
