Some luck and a staple gun would be my guess.

all you need is a texta an angle grinder, a stanley blade (for the fine trimmin) and then a staple gun to put the cover back on ... putting the cover on is easy just stretch it over the foam and staple away

i cut my seat down with an electric knife (like those they use to cut turkey). you just draw a line at the hieght you want and cut away.

not sure... check to see in the moose website, they sell complete seats with the gripper cover and all. But if you ride a yz 85 its not necessary to cut your seat, they're low enough in stock form.
