I would not suggest butchering the seat. A better alternitive might be having the suspension professionly lowered since you be needing springs anyhow?, different rear dogbones are also available for lowering the rear end.My friend who is 5'5 had his new ktm 450 lowered one and a half inches. I rode it and I dont feel it has been compromised in any way, he does'nt mx though. As a added bonus the lower cg really helps that thing rail the turns. On a gasser with a featherweight rider it would be a amazing weapon.
