    My GK seat

    Many of you may remember me griping about the seat on my GK being dished out making it uncomfortable for my knees. Here are pics of my GK seat.
    Before:
    And this is why it was so low. Before taking the seat cover off I just KNEW someone had been carving on it.
    I ordered a 3x14x14 piece of dense foam off of Ebay for $10. That included shipping. My wife and I carved on the block of foam and stretched the seat cover back over it. Come to find out a 2" thick piece would have been enough because we had to slice an inch off. I didn't think to get a pic of the foam after we carved on it but here is the result:
    And here it is on the bike:
    We left it a bit tall and the seat cover barely comes down to the bottom edge but we figured it would settle in some. I went for a quick ride between showers and I know I am sitting at least an inch higher. It's got to be an improvement over what I had.

    Congrats on good work. I hope it works out long run.

    The GK that I have had the front portion of the foam removed all together. The PO cut it off as if using a bread knife. He put in some cheap thin foam. Probably as an attempt to lower the seat or raise the road for his short legs.

    He gave me the portion removed as he had kept it. I glued it back with this polyurethane glue I got from a hardware store. I thought that it would never hold...But it did and still does.
