You can find these specs on the HD site. The CVO seating height is .3" (laden with 180# rider) and .6" (unladen) higher than a regular SG. The CVO ground clearance is .4" higher.
i have sat on the SESG and really liked the feel of the seat... I have a 2010 SG.. i don't know if the seat height is lower, but i did notice that it felt like the front of the seat was narrower at the nose giving my legs a straighter line to the ground, i'm 5'6" and it felt like i was much flatter footed on the SESG then on my stock SG. That fact plus the little bit of extra support at the rear from the "bucket" style is what i liked about the seat...
