Mustang Seat with Vaquero - Height Changes???

Hi,

I recently purchased a new 2011 Vaquero and I want to improve the seat. Looking at different makes, but I think I've made the decision on Mustang. Now I've read different articles suggesting that the seat height raises about 2 inches, then others that say it doesn't make a difference.

Guess my question if anyone out there that has Vaquero with Mustang seat, can you comment or give your comments with respect to the height changes (if any).

My Mustang raised me up about 1-1/2 and it's about the same front to back.

I put the wide touring seat on mine and was very little if any rise in seat hight. I do love the seat great for riding short or long distance.

I realy like my mustang seat and I think it is your size and shape that determine how the seat places you on the bike. Just my thoughts
