Title: springs under the seat... Post by Rocco on 07/29/09 at 09:14:53 i love the way they look, but i want to keep my second seat around(my girl loves it too much!) would it look stupid with just the front seat on springs? it might but i figured i'd ask. and is it weld in or bolted in? i see little brackets for the springs but now sure how u connect them. |

On my purple bike,it's all bolt on.However I did have to make a plate for the springs to sit on.I used the stock fender bolt holes to bolt the plate down.On the front I used a pivot kit and it bolts on in the stock gas tank mount holes.The build I'm doing now I welded brackets on for the springs. SEE my bobber build 101 in the tech section. |

Title: Re: springs under the seat... Post by Demin on 07/30/09 at 05:14:26 I bought a P-pad to put on the trailer fender.I think it's in my build in tech. |

Title: Re: springs under the seat... Post by Savage_Amusement on 07/30/09 at 07:09:54 I have seen bikes with the FRONT of the front seat having springs. Some actually say it is more comfortable that way. |

Title: Re: springs under the seat... Post by twdy on 07/30/09 at 13:07:17 I personally think the back seat would look out of place not connected to the front seat |

Title: Re: springs under the seat... Post by Demin on 08/03/09 at 18:32:21 I took the plunge,and bobberized my '86.I'll get pics up.I made a mount that is bolt on for the seat springs.2" wide piece of 1/8"(I think) by 9" long,Drlled 2 holes offset to mount it to the frame where the rear fender bolts on from underneath.Then drilled 2 holes to mount the springs.NEW trick I found use small washers just big enough to cover the first coil of spring,and use a buttonhead bolt with an allen head to bolt the spring on.It's alot easier than trying to put a wrench through the spring. Used my shortened trailer fender.Side mount maltese cross tailight,and plate. |
