hey,
my ramp is being made, and i need some help on cutting the sideplate.
i know how to, but do i have to shave the seat aswell as cutting the airbox and sideplate, im happy to replace the sideplate, but not a seat. my bike is a yz85 03` model.
i sed i will have a spare sideplate for racing.
so when i do racing, chuck on the new sideplate, when i do freestyle, put the cut one on.
thanx-ben

depends on how thick the seat foam is, and how big your hands are.

but if you are really serious about fmx and racing, get another seat and cut the foam. trust me, it helps a LOT with seat grabs. If you leave the normal seat on, you will miss the grabs often, and they always end up very nasty...

seat is thick, for me anyway, i am short.
i am sought serious in FMX not that im anygood, but if i have a ramp, i might aswell try stuff. my aussie comp ramp is being built!!
and yeah i enjoy racing, does keep me fit. thanx for that crusty, i will get another seat when my ramp arrives and my sea container dad got me!!

i dont think you can get 85 seats. but most people shave the seat down themselves. just take off the seat cover, shave it with something, and re-staple the seat cover back on. but don't try it if your in-experience, i dont think seats are that cheap.

anyone know a price on a new seat?

just kidding fmx to the max, but it would help if youd put some periods or commas here and there, that is if you want us to understand.

lol, thanks shifty, but seriously, ur my hero,, and yes , i am a master at cutting seats, its easy as ****, and fun, u just get staple gun, and murder weapon, (a big knife for chopp'n shit up with),, and take cover off, cut seat foam down, put cover back on and staple it, then hack up the side plates with the wrong end of a HAMMER, then go riding,,,

OR, if ur like me and lazy just cut the seat down and take the side plates off, because that is much kooler, thats why rhys dosent do it,,
