Just got my DP race seat in the mail today (thanks Frog!).
Anyway, only went out for a short ride.....but so far....
Does make you sit higher up on the bike than the oem seat. I am more on my toes at stop lights and I am about 6 foot even.
Way more grippy than that slip n slide oem stock seat
sits you a little farther back from the tank so your balls are not constantly smashing into the tank.
Firm, but comforatable
It was a little cooler tonight here, but I honestly think the extra thickness in the seat helped shield a bit of the furnace I felt under my ... (not the right thigh heat shield thing, but under the seat). Didn't get nearly as hot as the oem and I was bad and wore jeans tonight. With leathers on I imagine it will be even better.
All in all I don't know how the "comfort" seat compares, but I think this is a must have addition if you aren't too short.
