Its easy....really
I just found these pictures and oh what a laugh we had but unfortunately we see this a lot. Guy on a forum tells another guy on the forum, "ah heck man save your money, just get a electric carving knife and cut your seat down, thats what I did." Well, it's not as easy as it that really.
A guy brought this to us at the Thunder Beach fall rally this year.
When we took the cover off this is what we found.
But we fixed it and dude swore up and down that we swapped seats with him.

With the great work you guys do and the reasonable prices I can't imagine why anyone would try to do that on their own. It always looks easy when you know what you're doing. If you want to practice, try reshaping your kid's tricycle seat first.

I can believe that....as I actually tried that method years back
on my stock Valkyrie seat !! I'm thinking my results were a little
more favorable, then again maybe they weren't as I ended buying
a new seat within months of my carving experiment.

I did the same butcher job to my orignal seat. Mine didnt look that bad, but it was like sitting on a sack of potatoes. It tore and I replaced it. +1 on the great job you did.
