Next I cut the pro-pad cover open, removed the dry polymer insert and placed it on the front part of my stock seat. At this point, I sat on the seat and adjusted position of the pad as needed, traced it with marker/pen and removed the pad.




Now this is where I started second guessing myself, questioning whether I should cup up my nice clean OEM seat. Anyway, with the help of a ruler and utility knife, I started tracing the outline of what was going to be the opening for my seat pad. I cut only about a ¼” deep, trying to keep the shapes as neat as possible. Once I completed the cut along the entire perimeter of the seat pad shape, I started “slicing” off the foam. I have to admit that the cuts weren’t as clean as I’d like to but this was the best I could do. I kept biting off little by little, trying the fit/depth often.
