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.

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.
