I know someone who is looking for a lower seat for a XB12R. Anyone make that?

My corbin is technically lower, but has a little wider feel.
Is the custom seat any lower?

there isn't a lot of material there to remove and still have any cushion.
might have more success with lowering the suspension like the scg model.
Daves has helped a lot of people make the conversion.

Thanks guys, I'll let him know that there's not much to do with the seat. He's better look on the suspension side... he need more $$$

I bought a used seat and ripped off all the padding, I plan to hard cover for track days,
It lowered seating position by a fair amount,
just be care not to go too makes stradling on longer rides uncomfortable.
just me 2 cents
