Default Seat shave?

Thinking of getting my seat shave instead of changing the link, where can I get this done at or better yet know anywhere where I can get a lowered seat?

Just lower it 1" instead of messing with the seat.

I was thinking about that, 2" to be exact. Already have the dogbone for it too. But I kept hearing from people that it will mess up the ground clearance and all

Sounds easy, have you done this before? If so, how did it look and feel?
