Sit on the seat and mark your complete outline with a black marker. Hollow out where you sit a inch or so and fill it with memory foam. Use a sander to blend all the foam together for a smooth surface spray with 3M spray adhesive and cover with cheese cloth to hold the foams together so they don't separate. Cover with the plastic if you want and put the cover on. That is how I did my stock seat.

Lookin good Smokes. I'm still trying to get the stones to start that project. Keep tellin myself let a pro do it so you don't have to buy a new one. But I know I'll try it over the winter.

Re:my first atempt at a stock seat mod (pics) 1 Year, 8 Months ago  
Here is the best info I've found on seats mods. Once I read everything on the website I made the mod I needed on my brand new Mustang seat with confidence and the mod worked the first time around.
I put a couple 300 mile trips on'er and its like sittin in gramma's rocking chair.

I think with this info a person can mod most any seat to fit his/her butt without spending the big bucks. IMHO.

Re:my first atempt at a stock seat mod (update) 1 Year, 8 Months ago  
update: well i have the seat more or less shaped the way i want it now. dished it out another inch (now im around 1.5" and rounded the whole thing out some(mostly at the widest corner) i gotta say after doing a 2 minute sit test on my work in progress when i put my unaltered stock seat back on the short ride to work was hell on me with the stock seat poor me didn't know how bad it was so now i need to find me some top layer foam we got a foam factory near by so i may take a ride down there soon. the wife is having surgery in the morning and she will be "out of order" for a few days so i will be unable to continue for a bit. but i know how we like pics so here are some new ones.

Smokes what kind of tools are you using to shape the foam?
