Hey guys just had a local guy do mine. Same deal those side pressure points killed me and i was to far forward, so he cut the sides down smooth to the bottom, and he pushed me as far back as possible and still re-used the stock cover! Looks great feels way better and i even put on the short backrest. Haven't been for a long ride yet but so far its awesome and before it was instant pain. Teflon

Maybe I will give it a shot myself. I like doing my own thing whenever possible and I don't think that removing the cover and shaping the foam is an issue. My concern was that if once the foam was reshaped, would the cover need to be trimmed to fit and that is something I did not want to do.
Bottom line is, if I am going to continue to use the seat I am going to HAVE to make it a bit more accommodating so I don't feel like I am riding an upside down canoe!

I bought a 07 fatboy seat for my train because it came with a big fat OL pillon for the back. I had been riding with a lepera solo for as long as I had the train. used the fatboy seat a couple times and hated how it sat me 2 inches higher. Took the cover off shaved it down to the same profile as the lepera and put the cover back on. Just staples, real easy. Sits just as low as the the lepera now and I dont feel I'm riding a barca lounger like a dresser.
Dont know if you can really see the shape in this pic

Hey Jakazz, what sort of tools did you use to shave the padding? Or was it as simple as a razor blade? Great job by the way. Your seat looks great! Real sleek and suited to your bike.
