I am not afraid of trying anything, just want it to look decent when I am done and of course do what I wanted it to do!! Thanks for any feedback you could give!!
i basically scooped out a butt shape from where the back part of the grab strap is and shaped it down into the rest of the seat. essentially the same shape but scooped it back about two inches. i sprayed a little 3M adhesive spray on the part i scooped just to make sure it stayed down, but it seemed like i didn't need it once i pulled the vinyl down tight and stapled it. the only problem, if you wanna call it that, that i encountered was that the vinyl didn't, at first, seem like it was gonna sit on the scooped part right once i stuffed the tempurpedic foam on the pillion. but, like i said, once i pulled it down tight it worked just fine. looking at it more in the sunlight i can see some lumps that i missed... so that's another point: have good lighting.

tempurpedic foam is this memory foam kinda stuff that they use for beds and pillows. i chopped up a pillow. it was really hard to cut though. in hindsight, i probably should have just used gel, but we'll see how it works out for the next couple weeks. i might tear it apart again and replace with gel. we'll see.
i'll see if i can't get some pics up here today. i've been lazy.
