Thanks for the info. You shared a few things that others have not, so "kudos" to you! The stainless staples is a great point and I also appreciate the note on using a heat gun to stretch the fabric. Happy trails!

It looks like you did a great job. A option others may consider as well is to take your MX boots to your local cobbler and have him fit a much thicker sole such as the various Vibram soles. Also he could add a bit of leather to the midsole directly above the sole. Anywhere from 1/2 to 1 inch or more to the midsole and at least that much from the soles. Two inches shouldn’t be a problem. Cowboys wear heels like the ladies do so give your cobbler some business. P.S. You’ll have to readjust your shift lever though. The brake would probably be fine.

I am not entirely certain what you mean by suspension arm. I did eventually install the yamalink and dropped the forks a bit. The seat height is now around 35 inches which is better. I can touch the ground but not flat footed. Hope that helps 🙂

@@danielevallainc2537 I was actually pretty fortunate- my husband has the same bike and had his old seat, that was the seat that I actually shaved. I still have the original unmolested seat!

@@danielevallainc2537 it will be interesting to see if Yamaha comes out with a WR 300 or 450 to replace the 250 they took off the market. Might be a great bike.

I am not sure exactly what you are saying (not sure how to translate) but I think you're referring to the suspension. The suspension was untouched by shaving the seat which was good. Later, I added the yamalink and dropped for forks some. Honestly, I think it handled better before messing with the suspension. Shaving the seat works great for lowering the bike without messing with the suspension. Thanks for commenting.
