Thanks mate appreciate the feedback.

I just got my new 2020 Honda CRF 450r and tomorrow it’s exactly what I gonna do 🙏🏻👍🏻!!!!

Thanks mate 👍

@@BrokenSprocket just done it to my cbr1100xx, was sitting on top of bike to much not in the bike if that makes sense. 👍

Thanks mate 😉👍

Yep gets all over you 😟

What did you use to sand?

Disk sander

What do you mean by gel sheets?

Sunny Vaz gel padding I guess, it’s all over ebay and amazon. It’s a layer of gel for seats.

Thanks mate appreciate the feedback. I'm unfamiliar with that bike so not sure about 5 inches.

It's not my bike but the owner of the bike should be happy and not fall off as much 😁👍

Yeah my friend is 5'6 and it has helped him lots. Thanks for watching.

I'm using 6mm staples

I got 2 inches out off the seat and my friend is much more confident now.

Good idea but I don't have one...

Good luck.

@@BrokenSprocket Thanks. It was a roaring success once I figured out the best way to get the staples out. Hard to get a screwdriver under them and a staple puller didn't work because many staples were near a curve. Fastest way was using a small pen knife to get under them and pry up. This released one side and the rest of the staple was easily pulled out with pliers.

@@DivergentDroid what soft foam did you use? How did you attach it to the denser stuff below? Need pics! Do you have an Insta?

@@michelleseguin3863 Chances are your seat will be a little different than mine. I used some foam made to be used in chairs or other upholstery bought from Walmart, because I had it lying around. I'm 5'3 with a 27 inch inseam. The stock seat height was 28 inches. My foam was circular, about an inch thick and about a foot and a half in diameter. I had to remove the seat from the bike completely. My seat is big enough for two people, the driver and a rider. After taking out some staples, I simply pulled up the seat cover half way to expose where I sat in front and used a knife to cut that section of foam away, leaving the passenger seat area in the back. I just made one cut to remove this piece as to not tear it up in case I had to reuse it. I had to cut the new softer foam to make it fit. To connect it, I just duct taped it to the stiffer back passenger foam I had left on the bike. This held it in place while I then duct tapped all the foam to the plastic seat frame the foam sat on top of. I suppose you could glue it instead but I opted not to in case I made a mistake or would need to re-do it in the future. Last I replaced the cover and duck tapped it down because I could not put staples back in it, as the plastic seat frame was too thick. This got me about a good inch lower than the stock foam they used which would not compress. I'll try to make a video later tonight if I'm able to. If I do, I'll reply back letting you know. - another thing that helped me.. buy shoes with tall souls and to get even more height out of the shoes use thick as you can stand inserts. I could not afford expensive motorcycle shoes with ankle protectors added, heck I couldn't even find them in my size. (small foot) I bought Brahma brand steel toe work boots that are made of leather and have a good amount of leather in the ankle area. These have a good inch tall souls. I then used gel inserts to get a little more height. Between the seat modification and the shoes, I can easily reach the ground but cannot flat foot both feet. I get about half my feet down mostly on the balls of my feet but thats better than tip-toe. If I had modified the plastic seat frame itself I could have gotten more space but I didn't want to take the chance on destroying the frame. My scooter came from China and I'd have a lot of trouble getting a replacement frame. Keep in mind, your seat may be made totally different then mine. I hope this helps and if I get to make the video, I'll let you know.

I suppose that would depend on type of foam and weight of rider. I suggest cut off Half the amount you Think you need then test it. I'm replacing my cut off foam with really soft foam that will compress but allow me to keep the shape of the seat cover without sewing.

He tells me it's not to bad

yeah and the frame rails or seat pan edges are painful if you tend to sit down alot of time when riding you'll have to stand up and try not to use the seat

Got 2 inches out of it no handling issues

@@BrokenSprocket thanks that give me hope I'm tired of commuting on my zx6r👌

I'm in Sydney Australia

@@BrokenSprocket Thanks mate

@@BrokenSprocket Sorry mate one more question. What staple gun and staples do you recommend using? Cheers

It's the seat from my friends 2019 Suzuki DRZ400E he was looking at a after market seat but didn't want to spend $500 on it. This is the cheapest option. Thanks for watching...

@@BrokenSprocket Awesome I'm looking hard at a DRZ400S🧐 (don't have that big KTM500 money right now🤑 So this really helps out with decision making. Tx4Respnse

It makes it wider so more area to sit.

Yeah he was having trouble with the height and is much happier now 😉👍

Try sand paper on a block it will take longer but should work.

@@BrokenSprocket Thanks for the reply!

Glad to help.

Broken Sprocket thanks a lot
