Shipping was very reasonable from India.

The seat is about an inch or so higher than the stock saddle.  I have a 32" inseam and wear boots or chucks and it seems fine. 

I have had this saddle for over a month and about 700 miles and I like it.

The front horn (?) of the saddle is attached with two  2" metal bars to the frame mount (I had to drill one hole on the right side of the bracket on the frame.)  I believe the CMW one is sprung at the front of the horn.   I imagine being sprung would help out when I have my wife on the pillion as I tend to sit farther forward.  Riding solo it is very comfortable, no seat fatigue at all.

FYI... I put a deluxe vinyl solo seat on my '07 Bullet.  It apparently comes through with a a 4" spring set.  I ordered it from my dealer (Mike Depalo on Long Island) I asked about seat height change.  I have closer to a 30" inseam and didn't want any increase in seat height.  He sent me a 3" spring set.  The 4" felt too high.  The 3" was perfect.  So be aware there are different height springs available for the solo seats.
