I'm planning on trimming my seat foam down a little, anybody have any tips? What works good for cutting/shaving it? I was thinking about maybe a hacksaw blade? Any advice would be great.

Electric knifes work great for seat foam.

I agree with Wistech, I have had good luck with an electric knife.

Roger,

Just don't tell the wife that the little extra bits on the Thanksgiving turkey is seat foam....

You may think about contacting Canniboomer before cutting a good seat. He has some old FX400 seats that had a lower profile, he may have a ripped seat to use instead also....

How about 400ex foam.

I asked the wife and she said we don't have an electric knife. My first wife must have taken it in the divorce. I never thought I would need it, you know? I guess I'll head over to Walmart. Thanks for the info everyone. Canniboomer, got any of those fx400 seats left?

I might be interested in that. Could you post a pic of the low foam seat? I'm not sure how "low" they are compared to a regular one.

I believe Boomer said there was 1" less height, with less foam against the tank area (front of the seat) also, bringing you more forward slightly.
