Spazz and I ride the same saddle (Koobi), and mine is also higher than my handlebars, but only about three inches. The one difference is that my seat tilts down very, very, slightly. How do I know? I use a level. I also had to work on the forward/aft position of the seat, about a millimeter at a time, to get it right. It took over a month. But now it's great. So play with positioning for a while.
