Default Gel Pad DIY

okay. I am short 5"5 to 5"6 and have a 2003 CBR
so, i have decided to lower the seat with gel pad myself
Planning to buy this

and follow this site directions


What is the stock foam pad thickness?
Any1 knows where can I get a huge mouse pad too? or gel seat is fine no need both

Make sure you leave a little extra cause honda rolls foam over tou extend the seat so if you wrap it flush around the plastic, it willbe short.

okay... i am not sure which one fits better.

After some searching, I narrow down to two gel pads that might work for my 2003 CBR.

the ebay one, Kno Place Gel Pad, is 15" across the back edge, 10" across the front edge and 13" from front to rear


the from Pro Pad is


*Pro Pad seems larger, however, the front is only 5"

Their prices are pretty close.
Pro Pad probably cost $80 shipped. (with 2007fall 10% discount)
the other one is $72.5
