My fat ass dx seat is kinda in the way for unispins and stuff makes
grabing harder and what not. Anyways what would I use for padding I
can make a new cover no problem have made one before. I was thinking
that layered neropean would be comfy. I don't like a real squishy
seat. I don't want to buy an new one cause I'm a cheapo😄

yeah i guess mornish has a good idea if you want to make it so hard on
yourself. id just buy the new kh street seat. but wtevr.

Step one - Remove staples of cover.

Step two - Gently and carefully remove the cover.

Step three - Get something that will cut through the foam easily and
cut the
foam to your preferred shape and thickness.

Step four - Re-assemble the cover.

Thats the basics of it, and I have done it to my DX seat, and now it
resembles the Koxx seat.

Step 1: take off the handle and bumper, and pull out all the staples on
the bottom of the cover

Step 2: carefully peel the cover off the foam, be extra careful not to
rip either one

Step 3: take out the foam and cut it in half or so, a hacksaw works
best. keep the *top* of the foam, because you'll want the curves in the
foam.

Step 4: put it all back together like it was, you can use a big stapler
to get the cover back on, or get a KH fusion cover for $15.

Honestly, I used a bread knife. Not a butter knife, the bigger one with
a serrated edge for bread loafs.

I got lots of bumps, the big ones I was able to rip down with my
fingers, but once I put the cover back on, you cant see the bumps, and
its extremely comfy.

Dangit, don't post the same time I do! Ha :p

I took out the bottom of the foam and kept the top, that way you don't
have to ever worry about bumps or foam coming apart.

A hacksaw or breadknife, or something that has that type of serrated
edge works great.

Yeah that might be a better Idea than finding another type of padding
how muc less comfy for just riding will it be?

I actually found it to be more comfy after I cut mine down.

Me too, much so. I even took mine apart after awhile and cut it down
MORE. You would probablly be fine with about an inch or so of foam
left.

Cut it slightly more on the ends to make it have less front-to-back
curve. Be careful though, mess up and you end up buying a new seat!
It's not too hard though if you watch what you're doing.

'These' (http://tinyurl.com/qoo8t) are awesome for cutting foam. I use
mine for cutting foam a lot. Smooth cuts, easy to maneuver.

I drew the shape i wanted in the foam with a sharpie, then cut it with
a dremel tool. Dremel cut-off wheels are small, so you have to make a
few cuts to get it down, but it will look perfect afterwards. I
recomend thinning the sides of the seat to reduce chaiffing if you do
alot of roll hops.

I was thinking that layered neropean would be comfy. I don't like a real
squishy seat.

For trials, I lost the stock foam all together, and replaced it with
kayak seat foam. I like it, I like it olaa.
