No I haven't, but they would do the same as your airhawk.

Hey guys, just one suggestion from experience - try to avoid at all costs lowering the suspension. I did this on my first XTX and even had the side stand shortened too, and the result is good in terms of town riding and traffic and things. But as soon as you get out of town the handling is awful and the bike scrapes everything at the first corner!!!!!!

I've also gone down the tt road with a slightly used seat at a fair price

I ride the abs version so is was not that high originally and i can still reach the road with both feet at the same time (but i have 36" leg length so a bit longer than average)

I'm very happy with it and it is much better than the standard seat - it is worth the price ? I'm not so sure ...

Hi seat story
 
Nice to see a "seat" story for taller riders :smilies0948:
Putting 2" of lift into my standard seat along with an airhawk, the sore knees while riding are "no more". :icon_cool:

TT high seat.
 
Mine was bought as a brand new seat from a chap on ebay who put it on once and found it far too high. I gave £300 for it.
Bit late in replying to this thread but needed to get a few miles in before giving my findings.
I'm 6ft and can no longer put both feet flat on the floor but it only takes a few trips to get used to that.
My arse doesn't go on fire after 50 miles nor do my knees ache as they did with the standard seat.
Is it worth the price? To me it certainly is, many hours are spent in the saddle and if you are constantly hotching about to relieve the discomfort then long rides become something to be avoided in the end.
I rode with an Airhawk for a lot of the time and tried a saddle with gel pads and found the Airhawk better as you can adjust it to suit.
I'm a crusty now and bike riding needs to be more enjoyment and less endurance if you're going to still put the miles in.
I'm glad I bought mine and would recommend it for taller riders.

Pete.
