Have you considered the SFI foam? A number of our drivers have gone that direction with very pleasing results at approximately the same cost. Aside from the ability to take more than one impact, a selling point is that lesser rigidity makes insertion and removal of the finished seat much easier. That's what my next seat will be.

Worked great. I do have a functional seat despite my own dysfunction ..... g
Tips. Some new some repeats from others (with emphasis)
- Use cardboard or other means to prevent the foam from wrapping around frame tubes. It really holds on.....
- Get your butt UP. I did but not enough and not long enough...
The foam GROWS... ALOT. I was worried there wouldn't be enough to go up my back - wrong.
- Sit for the 10 minutes. Warm (like you peed you pants) but bearable.
Then get out and get the seat out. I waited too long.....
- The electric knife is ok but weak. I think a cheap bread knife or Ginzu form a drug store would be just as effective.
Between the seat growing around the frame rails behind the shoulders and the fact that I waited too long it was tough to get out.....
Most people say you'll end up doing 2. Your first one and the one after you learn.
I can see that but my seat is very functional and I'm even considering covering it...g
I'd recommend EIS foam kits as they are for multiple impacts and the kit is the same price as a bead seat kit.

The foam seats are easier and quicker to make too. I had one made for the my F600 and was very happy with it. I lived close to these guys at the time so I had them make the seat for me. They sell kits if you want to DIY or have a local shop do it.

A $10 Rapala fish filet knife works great. There are thin and low profile and go around curves nicely. Be careful[. Those suckers are very sharp!
