All stock Glee seats are the same. The stock seat looks like this. Clicking the pic makes it bigger.

Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

Its a 2014 model, I wrongly thought there was a low seat version, but I can see by your photo Greywolf, that it looks similar to yours.
Thanks for the reply blokes.

I would call it an option rather than a version. No bike comes from the factory with a low seat. Some dealers may agree to swap seats and all will be happy to sell you a new low seat.

The low seat has nearly a uniform arc. The stock seat has a nearly flat spot in the center. The tall seat is mostly close to flat.
