Title: Springer seat
Post by Nightrain on 02/15/05 at 15:33:06

Anyone know where can I get a seat like this? I did a few searches but nothing comes up under springer seat. Is there a specific name for a seat that has springs? Nice bike BTW :)

Thanks for any insight

same seat as mine. i'ts so much more comfortable than the stock seat.

the key to a great appearance will be a sheet metal cover over the exposed wires..

just put the new rear on i went with a irc 140/90 fills up the space nicely with no rub.

my mods are done. too soon though, weather not ready for long rides. :(

I really like that seat and the bobbed look but I also really like the utility of my trunk. If I ever get rid of the trunk, I'll probably go with that seat and some apehangers. That's probably a little while off though, if ever.

What I really want is to move the seat back about 6-8 inches so that I can spread out my legs a little. This looks like and easy seat to accomplish something like that. Just weld in a few brackets and wallah! Hey sluggo, is that the 9" or 11" seat on your bike?

if you compare the two photos you will see mine is placed several inches further back than the red ones'

Yeah I noticed that. Yours looks about 2 inches back. I think I can even go back a few more inches with the stock setup. If I weld some ears behind where you bolted your springs to the frame then I can probably get a few more.
