my understanding was that its a bit lower , I bet the seat still isn't as good as a quality after market one

     Ordered the seat today.I believe it to be 1" higher than stock and slightly narrower at the front. http://www.kawasaki.com/Accessories/Item/ZG1400EFFL/999940500

this extract is from Kawasaki , not sure if the seat is an inch higher or lower but better ground reach must mean you are now, overall , closer to the ground

                   Seat arrived today. Havent been for a ride yet but I think its going to work .Seems to be no higher than stock as it taperes off at the front nicely. Alround softer and wider for both. more of a grippier cover to. £290 from my local Kawasaki.Heres a pic or 2 I hope.      <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/wildybeast/embed/slideshow/gtr%20turng%20sat/GTR%20Touring%20seat"></iframe>

Better ground reach often means that the seat is narrower towards the front  :yes:
