Thanks NZ. Is the seat hard, like a Saddlemen or Corbin?

I actually had a Saddlemen step-up seat previously but sold it because for me it was too hard (= sore butt) but the Lepera Kickflip was comfy straight away and improved over time which seemed to fit my fat *** well, very well made also

I'm not sure I don't think it has gel, my Saddlemen did but the Kickfkip seems softer, no problems with the questions either

Yes slightly forward and height is close to the stock seat.
From Le pera customer service:

The Tailwhip would sit you a little more forward compared to the maverick.

The Tailwhip would sit you about ž of an inch more forward compared to stock.

The Tailwhip would sit you about the same height (as stock). The Maverick would sit you about an inch lower (than stock).
