I went ahead and cut the seat foam down on my KDX 220. Here is what I learned:
1. Wire wheels take foam off very well, but make a huge mess.
2. I lowered the seat height considerably (maybe 2")
3. The existing One Ind. cover is really hard to stretch, and doesn't really fit right after the mod.
4. The electric stapler I have (about the most powerful electric you can get at Home Depot) barely works. It took about 150 staples to get 50 that stick.
Questions I have: Do gripper seat covers stretch more or less than other? When you get them new, do they have plenty of material to stretch around a modified seat? Can I buy the original foam preformed for the KDX?
It was a tough job, but the result is acceptable, and I still plan on changing it eventually.
