Seat reshaping or a lowering kit?

Hi, is it possible or has anyone done it, reduced the height of a cbr 1000 2006 by shaving n shaping the foam of the seat. I've recently acquired the bike n I'm basically on tip toes 2 half the balls of my feet. I'd like a bit more foot in contact with the ground n would rather use a lowering kit as a last resort. Hence I'm asking the feasibility of reducing the height via the seat? Any advice would b most welcome.

 

The best thing to do is get a lowering kit for the suspension linkage.
Shaving anything from the seat with make it even more like sitting on a plank.

 

Saw these for a fiver in our local oxfam shop ??

 

How about replacing standard shock with an adjustable length Nitron or Ohlins? Two birds , one stone!.

 

Here s some advise.............."hello all my name is Pez............or little Pez to my friends.......who by joining this Forum in the NEW MEMBERS section I hope to expand my knowledge of lowering a fireblade which I have to stand on tippy toes while stationary".........any advise would be much appreciated....???

Ps Ps.............don't take any notice of me im only joking but we have some very basic principles on ere...........
