Default Seat help

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes. I have a 2014 RK police. I like the stock seat but hate how high it makes you sit. Is there any way to drop the height? I really would like to keep the seat but if I have to I guess I could buy a new solo. Any help is appreciated.

If you want to keep the seat take it to an upholstery shop and see if they can shave some of the padding down. If not, you will have to purchase a lower profile seat.
