Default modding my seat

I've gotten a lot of great ideas from everyone on the site. Tonight I decided to try modding my seat. First I removed the back half of the seat cover enough so that I could fold it underneath out of the way. Then I marked the dimensions of the seat pan as best I could on the side if the foam. I also marked a general area that I wanted to shave off. This was a good starting point but I ended up taking off a much bigger area. So far I've taken off about 2 inches from the seat. I'm going to hold off on stapling it back together until I get it right. From just sitting on it, it definitely feels better. I'm lower and more into the bike. I used a dremel with a wire brush set at 4000 rpm's to grind down the foam and a piece of 60 grit sand paper to smooth it out. More to come...
