They do sit a lot higher. If you're not a tall guy it will probably put you out of your comfort zone. The pan is wide enough to disperse the load so you don't get any hot spots and the extra shock is great at taking out the bumps in the road. The only downsides are it isn't for short guys and there isn't any back support although I have seen backrest made specifically for them for sale.
