Hi yall. Well ive taken the plunge and taken off the horrible standard undertray and some of the bracketry that holds the grab rail and licence plate.Ive also cut down the rear frame rails just by a few inches.Ive picked away at all the staples under the seat and taken off the cover and sponge to expose the seat pan.

I reckon you'll need some padding on that.  Stainless doofer looks promising. |

So then i thought,rather than have that steel piece...it would look better if the whole seat and cover was that shape.

So i marked it out and began cutting with a jig saw. I was quite amazed to find my work had all been in vain.Once the blade gets hot,it cuts through but then melts back together.....was a real pain in the a!!!!se to get it cut.

Pretty good i reckon.....and when i cut off those pillion footpegs it should look a bit neater . I think i will have to plate in the underside to get it looking a bit smoother. |

Like that.
I've had a similar problem with cutting plastic. Trying to cut a flat sheet with a jigsaw, went all the way round, then found it'd sealed itself up again as the hot blade cut through. Ended up using a hacksaw blade.
