Cool Banshee seat!

05 banshee - this has been bothering me for some time now, and im looking for some help! i hate how thick and fat my banshees seat is...its comfy like a sofa, witch is nice! but i feel like it should be thiner, sleeker, smaller,maybe a few inches off the top? like one or two...its bulky, and fat... im 6ft 6" tall, it would be extremely benificial if i could get my center of gravity a little lower to the bike, and i feel like it might be a little more comfy.... iv been searching high and low, and i am unable to find a retailer of a "shaved banshee seat"...... i am looking for a picture of what it might look like? or where i may purchase one?

take off your seat cover and shave it yourself its not that hard to do just trace lines on it how you want it then after you shave it put your seat cover back on and trim off the excess

razor or grinder some sand paper to smooth it and yes a lot of guys on here have done it...mostly on drag machines to hold their asses on the machine lol but its completely possible for anyone to do just trace lines down the side of how you want it to look and then cut but measure twice cut once id prolly only take like 2-3 inches off and keep the look it has already that might help also the padding is kinda cushy soo if you cut too much you might be sitting on a little padding and a lot of plastic

Cosmic Quads can do it. If you need a new one give them a look.
