While I'm a huge RevZilla fan, and this response in no way reflects on their excellent service, I must flatly disagree with Mana. It is NOT the same as the stock seat. It is MUCH higher and completely changes the riding position. I've ridden about 3,000 miles on the stock seat. The moment I installed the Saddlemen Adventure Track Seat on my 2012 Tiger 800 ABS, I felt like I was very high on the bike, at least a 1 inch if not a 2 inch lift. If changed my position from comfortable to leaned forward with my weight on the grips. The seat is wider at the tank as well, which reduces the reach at a stop. I have to slide forward onto the tank to comfortably stop now. (I'm 5'9" with a 30" inseam, average athletic build). I've ridden for two weeks on the seat (I commute daily), and this saddle now sits on a shelf in my garage. I was entirely too tip-toed when riding in traffic and at slows/stops compared to the stock seat. After a few hundred miles on the Saddlemen seat, I've reinstalled my stock seat, which is more appropriate tot he geometry of the bike. I also purchased the heated version, which uses a dongle as a controller, rather than an integrated switch with a clean appearance. I'll probably try a Corbin when they add heat to their option for this bike. There is a defnite reduction of the "monkey butt" effect with the center channel, and the suede is nice, but the effect on geometry is too much to ignore. The Saddlemen seat basically flattens out the rider's area, where the stock and stock-low seat sllow you to sink into the bike's geometry.

No. It was the same as Stock.
