"Heavy water is D2O rather than H2O. D, deuterium, is an isotope of
hydrogen, H, that behaves chemically the same but has twice the atomic
mass. This is because it has a neutron and a proton in its nucleus
rather than just a proton. Oxygen, common to both D2O and H2O molecules,
has an atomic mass of 16. The total atomic mass within a D2O molecule is
20 and within an H2O molecule is 18. Heavy water is 20/18, 10/9, or 1.11
times as heavy as water." - Harper's response to 'Hi Greg, how are
ya?'

In that case, never mind. As a matter of fact, since it's not that bad,
could there be a neon pink option? Or not, doesn't matter. I agree that
white would be cool, since then you could put your own prints on it. Too
bad I can't just bleach it, since it's not a natural fiber. Whatever.
I'm more concerned with the quality. How to the generations' weight
compare?

As I said I can do black, blue, grey, yellow, orange, red or green, not
white or neon pink as far as I know.

Regarding weight:

They've gotten slightly heavier, because the most recent versions are
reinforced more strongly (thicker metal plate, thicker plastic in the
seat frame). That said, it's not enough to notice when you are riding
and I'd rather have a slight bit more weight and end up with a stronger
saddle!

The overall shape will be the same- I like it too.

The only change will be that the lip at the front will be thicker and
more rounded, to be more comfortable when you are pulling up hard on the
handle.

A lot of *us* would, but Kris and Norco have to bend to the will of the
other 99.x% of the market for these saddles. You always have to strike a
balance between satisfying the "power users" who don't care much about
price, and the far more numerous "everybody else" users who are very
price-sensitive.

Guys, no problem with whatever color seat you desire. Kris posted that
the new seats will come with REMOVEABLE covers. If you want some
designer (or wierdo pink) cover, just take the stock cover to your local
upholster shop and have them stitch you up your perfect cover.

Problem solved!

Keeping this thread on topic: I just got at new KH seat from
Unicycle.com this past weekend. I had Bugman haul it from Atlanta to
Memphis for me. I love it. I put in on my new Summit Trials Uni.
Ahhhh, it feels so much better than the stock Viscount seat. :)

Keeping the thread off topic: ive only actually ridden on a kh saddle
for about 10 total minutes. i dont remember how much it hurt, but a
future one should have a comfortable rubber piece in the back where you
hold to hop seat out.

I thought they'd get heavier... But I realy don't mind. I ride with Mike
Middleton, and he's snapped the metal plate in three of the KH seats,
and has had to go CF. But I would love to see a bit more weight if it
adds rigidity.

As for the colors, just joking, although white would be kinda cool, I
was happy already when I saw all the variety available. I was originally
expecting Miyata colors when the KH saddle first came out.
