It is taller than the stock Street Glide seat for sure. It is awesome. I've ridden my father-in-Laws CVO with one. I'd have one but don't want to give up the adjustable backrest.

I've had a hammock for two weeks /~1100 miles. Did the loaner at the dealer and my wife was said it was the best thing ever before we got 10 miles into the test ride. More support than stock and absorbs some of the jolts from the crappy roads around here. Guessing it puts me about an inch higher than the stock FLHXS seat. I like it better than the Mustang wide touring seat I had on my FXDF for long rides.

I have a heated leather hammock on my CVO (it was stock). It sits about an inch forward and up compared to my Corbin Dual Tour. As much of a Corbin fan as I am, the hammock is better. If it was all leather, it'd be perfect.

Here's a mini review of a weekend with the Harley Hammock seat. Now that I've had the Hammock for a couple of seasons I wouldn't be without it. Hours of comfortable riding.

Taller than a stock FLHX seat. Allows you to sit farther back than a stock Ultra seat. Ride is nice. Mine rubs the inner front corners of my saddlebag lids and the rear painted frame covers, which I don't like.

Thanks i'am a little worried about the 1 inch taller being 5' 9" and about 30" inseam don't know if I will be flat footed. I think will demo one and see how it feels since it sounds like the comfort. Is good
