High seat on old rear frame

Hi,

I think I might like the high seat (820mm) offered on late S'es on my 1999 S.

However, according to ETK, there was a change in the rear frame in 2001 that went along with different seat part numbers.

The high seat is only available for the late frame, so I am wondering if anyone has any experience with using a late seat on an early rear frame.

The change was to the spacing between the rubber donuts that fit into the receptacles in the center of the seat. The later frames/seats have wider spacing. You can either cut the posts shorter on your frame or relieve the new seat base to accept the narrower spacing - either works fine.
