Welcome, nice machine, to keep she who must be obeyed happy so she could get her feet down on the ZX6R we had the seat shaved down 25mm, made a huge difference to her, as I use it as a weekender/play thing it doesn't seem to bother me until about 200k's down the road then the numb bum syndrome hits. lol

I managed to pick up a spare seat from the states for $30 delivered which i am getting the seat shaved on it. 25mm will make a difference for sure :)

Ahh sweet.

Nah don't have anyone at the moment. I did a trimming course a few years back but forgot all of it and don't have a walking foot sewing machine.

Might have to take you up on the offer. One person i spoke to said that i had to ride my bike to them and then measure me up and get my weight etc before he can start shaving it and then wanted to charge a few hundred for it so i told him where to go.

All u need to do is bring ur seat, or just ride it down, we can do it on the spot...mesaure u up??? what a load of shit rossco :shock: :shock:
I shaved my seat on my track bike, and replaced the cover with a carbon seat cover.. i think i still got enough to do ur's.. if not i can get it in dandenong.. dont need a sewing marchine, alltho we got one. just a staple gun, which we got here.. let me know when ur ready..

Anytime Born green:), well not anytime :)

I work full time but can get to blind blight on the weekends etc.

Let me know what is easiest for you to either to come down and bring the seat or send it out.

Just bring it down when u get the spare, or we can do the one u got, and keep the other, either way, my house mate the trimmer is back this weekend, he works away a bit, but often home on weekends.. or i can do it, done a few.. let me know, if u want to do the seat u got now, can prob do this weekend?? i will have a look in the shed to make sure i got enough cover..... yep just had a look, got enough..
Tho i think 20 mm is to much.. they dont have a lot to start with.
But there is ways...
