The easiest way is to remove the cover then carve the underside not the topside. that way the seat says smooth on top. When dieciding were to carve just picture how the foam collapses when you sit on it..I used an electric knife ( a trick I leaned as an custom upholsterer) Whole thing was under an hour and lowered me 1.5 in...and looks factory.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #149847 Bruzer (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 217 Re:Re-contouring my seat 3 Years, 4 Months ago   Well we started off with a outline of my butt in reference to seat placement, as pointed out I tend so sit way back in the seat so we started there as far as cutting foam goes here is a picture.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/01/04 10:43 By Bruzer.   Dont wish to change the experience - But wish to experience the change!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #149848 BAJACRUISER (User) Always ready to ride.....

Or is it better to start all over with new foam? Memory foam, gel pad insert, etc.? Gonna be doing mine very shortly.

Cutting like was mentioned should be done with a electric knife (the only way to go) I choose to cut from the topside as the bottom is been formed to the pan, just take your time, smooth cuts, I then cut out extra to allow for a gel-like pad that I am adding in for comfort. I also added to ridges one on each side of the seat in the hip area for shaping and comfort (you can see them in a previous pic) I also continued to sit it checking comfort and pressure points. I will add pics and comments as I go. Bruzer   Logged     Dont wish to change the experience - But wish to experience the change!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
