I have that seat too, and love it. I have the detachable sissy bar, but I am not sure if it is the one you are referring to - can you post a link?

The spring seats are surprisingly comfortable. I have one from Mother Road Customs. I opted for the 1" gel foam on a 13" x 15" seat. The HD seats are nice, but I found it a bit narrow and it dug into my thighs a bit (not bad, but the bigger seat from MRC made a difference. The MRC seat allows for several custom covering options.

It does sit a couple inches higher. I have my stock seat on for now but can change it in 5 minutes.

I have the HD spring seat and the detachable sissy bar. The seat put me a bit higher, but I got used to it.
