I had foam removed, but the front of the seat bottom is still to tall
frome. I had my upholstery guy make me a seat bottom that is half height
and does use the metal frame. I'm 6'3" but long wasted, so I sit tall in
the saddle. Seat looks correct unless you compare the height to the
passenger seat.. i still need to settle in, but the starting point is much
better.
