Seat theory

Here's a piccie of Pro twins race bike seat, where they see it necessary to raise the height of the seat squab!

I noticed the seat on jhp's 749r race bike is raised aswell, your thoughts?

Ypu can see that its raised about 1" above the fuel tank!

It looks like a thicker seat pad.Probably done to put more of the riders weight over the front.

I've had one fitted because i'm a "taller then average" rider, it gives you more leg room.
