Steve thanks for the info,i just downloaded the photo so i could see it.so what i need to know from you is did this lower the seat height also as i think i was going to take it off the top,did this to the KLR i had a few years ago and while it did lower the seat height it was almost as uncomfortable as in the stock height. I think that when i cut it down from the top i cut into a harder foam area so there was not enough cushioning,just a guess as i have no way of confirming that.                                                     Thanks Stu.

Hi Stu~ I just finished shaving the seat on my A19. Yesterday I tested it out and it turned out great! Took it out yesterday and it's the first time I've been able to ride farther than 10 miles without my tail bone hurtin' like crazy. Took three different sessions to get just the right amount of foam cut out from the underside of the seat. I ended up removing a block of foam 14" x 7" X 2 inches thick! I used an electric turkey knife to cut the foam. Stapled the cover back on (3 times) and got it right! Pulling the foam off the seat pan and removing foam from the underside left the seat looking stock until you sit on it and it's so much more comfortable. Hope this pic isn't too big............Steve stuart sullivan wrote: [quote]  Has anyone modified the stock seat?have friend who did his,another model of bike with a sander attachment on a drill,looks ok from what i saw.                                                      Thanks Stu.
