Cutting a race seat?

[Maddog]

Is there a tried and tested method of cutting bodywork? Ive got a race seat for the zx10, its like this



It puts loads of stress on the tank fixings as all of my body weight will be sat on it so i want to cut the seat area away so i can use the standard seat.... like this



Anyone got any suggestions? Ive seen a few pre cut ones on ebay but are part of a complete set. Im awaiting replies from the sellers to see if they will split

Using the above method......mark out your cut lines in pencil / chinagraph and trim slow and steady, the discs will slice through the GRP very easily, so you can make a mess if you rush.
