I recently got around to changing my sisters 20yr old Kohler Stately toilet and used one that Kohler had sent us to use as a demo. They also provided one of their bidet seats.
Since I had a bunch of toilets and whatnot laying around I let her choose between a roundish footprint vs a more square footprint bowl, more similar to the Stately. So I install the K-5709-0 bowl and tank and get the bidet mount set... but the bidet won't latch to the mount.. I move the mount forward and it latches but I need to move it back a ways cuz the tip of the seat over hangs the bowl by an inch.. But that is simply as far back as it goes!! Bidet seats already encroach on the total opening of the bowl.. but this is crazy. Kohlers compatibility chart indicates they should work together... but not in a really usable manner. Guess I'm glad I didn't toss out or completely dissect her old Toto Washlet.
Plus.. and I guess it was a failing on my part to keep nearly identical bowls with their plastic adapters 100% separated, but the plastic adapters that bolt to the floor, receive the waste and also bolt the toilet to the flange... They are 1/2" different.. So I set the square bowl down on the round bowls adapter and couldn't fit the bolts in to secure it.. I couldn't even measure the difference between them. But swapping them fixt it.
