Thanks... Twisty

I have never heard of "cutting" seats, but I do agree that the 1200 stock seat is as horrible as the 1000 stock seat. they treid to make it "softer" an just gave you a seat that sank to the pan.

I have rebuilt serveral of these seats. If you have a good electric carving knife you can cut and shape the foam like butter. I don't think you will like just sliceing the foam I have tried that and it just seemed to accelerate breakdown of the seat. You can buy gel material cheaper at Medical supply stores.They sell a big pad for wheel chairs and you can cut a custom shape out of it. I get the most comfort out of a backrest and forward pegs to raise my butt up occasionally.

I'll have to get soem advise on doing that from you. my wife has always hated the stock seat on her 1200... and I have had too much scottish blood to replace it

If you can pick up a gel pad. You can put it under a sheep skin and bungy strap it in place so that it doesn't slide around. That is about as quick a fix as I can come up with.

and don't forget that you can make haggis out of the rest of the parts....
