Looking to shave the SV650 seat, or have new foam that is thinner but more dense installed on it for my daughter.
She's a bit short on the inseam and I'm considering dropping the seat height down a bit before lowering the bike and getting the suspension out of sorts.
Have looked at the Corbin... which is nice and lowers her 1.5", but it also costs @ $375, so I thought we'd try someone local shaving her existing seat. Preferably looking in south DFW - Arlington/Mansfield area, but willing to ride somewhere with a good reputation.
Or... has anyone done it themselves? I hear an electric knife does a fairly good job at shaving foam.
Thanks guys!
Bottom pics for reference. You can tell that there is a LOT of foam on this seat. Thinking that 1.5" is a pretty safe bet.
