springs under the seat...
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.

If it performs as you need it, who cares?

I have seen bikes with the FRONT of the front seat having springs. Some actually say it is more comfortable that way.

I personally think the back seat would look out of place not connected to the front seat

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.
