[QUOTE="mcycleboy, post: 1448441, member: 97955"] Seat cutdown. Easy job. 1 hour. Premark with chalk where your butt sits as if driving as best as you can. Pull the front and side staples only. Carve and then smooth as best as you can...I used an electric carving knife...I did end up also taking some off the sides where your inner thighs go. I used a small stiff wire brush to smooth the foam after cutting it as irregular bumps and cut lines in the foam will show up after you re-cover it. When you put the cover back on you must stretch the material on and work from the back to the front making sure there is enough tension to have the material lay in correctly. I used an electric stapler with short staples as the plastic seat base is really hard. I decided to do this job knowing that if I screwed up I would simply buy a Corbin seat that was already cut down.
