did you get a good amount shaved off of your seat? did you sand it smooth and trim it nice and even? i did mine and for sure it saves my nuts from stress and feels so much more comfotable, its like sitting on a nice comfortable bar stool. numerous rider has sat on my seat since the mod and everyone of them said it feels so much nicer then what they have, which was factory seat.

I had this done recently by a guy in MD who specializes in this sort of thing. Everything he did was to the underside of the seat so the stock shape was retained. He shaved the bottom, customized it a bit to the shape of my ass, and put in some deep pleats at the front which allows it to easily be crushed together which gets my feet much closer to the ground when I'm at a stop. To finish it off he installed a double layer of 5/8" custom formulated gel. He also does full on custom seats in all sorts of crazy materials but I just had the comfort shaping / gel done.

All in all I'm very pleased with the work as my ass doesn't go to sleep anymore and I can much more easily reach the ground at a stop (5'10" and on my 07 ZX6R this was still a problem). Money well spent!

If you're in the DC, MD, PA, N VA area he's a short ride away and you could check out his site at www.realdealcustoms.com

Not a paid endorser and no kick backs but I do like to plug the stuff that works and rip the shit that don't.

there is a place here in Jacksonville called sargentseat. I'm going to take my seat in to them in the next couple of days. They said they can shave some off the top and sides and reuse the stock cover. I'll post some pics and a review after I get it re-installed.
