RE: Shaving a seat?!!!
I just lowered my f4 an 1-1/2", and what a huge difference. I got the links form ebay for $30, lowered the forks to match, and cut the kick stand. To me the bike seems to ride just fine, but I am still a new rider. from what I can tell unless you plan to take the bike to the track with really sharp turns it should be fine. The big thing is that I was just to intimidated by the power and size of the bike and now it just feels so great. I just love to ride the bike now. I tried adjusting the suspension getting a Corbin seat and nothing else worked, plus you can always change it back if you dont like it.

RE: Shaving a seat?!!!
i just shaved mine last week and for some reason it feels softer that it was before.
i bought an extra seat just in case i fudge it up.
make sure you shave from the bottom of the foam as it'll look
like sh*t if you trim the top. it's pretty easy to do, took me 1 hour
including stapling everything back on. make sure you use 1/4" long staples or less
if not you'll be poking your **** and thighs.
i'm only 5'6 and wasn't able to touch the ground before but now i can touch the ball
of my feet onto the ground. makes me feel more confident but once i'm use to it i'll
be putting on the higher seat as the previous owner got new skin for it.
