anyone seen a brown leather solo spring seat for a street bob? i think it will look pretty sweet? any suggestions or anything?

 

anyone?

 

do a search... a while back alot of guys had them on
here is the kit

i had one mocked up for my bike but did not end up going with it... just did nto look right.. why have a spring seat and SHOCKS does not really do it for me... maybe if you where to use hairpin or sizor springs and tuck them under the seat, but the coil springs just look stupid IMO...

 

I did have one on my St Bob. I really liked the look and the feel of it. but I ended up hurting my back at work and riding with it really hurt. so I sold the seat but I still have the mounting kit from debrix that I bought if you are interested.

Here is a link to a picture that I found.

VTwin mfg makes one as well. I have no idea the cost though. I'm thinking about getting a Barebones myself and going to exactly the look you've got now .... Bones and Attitude stick for solo riding. I'll use my Daytona 2-Up for when the OL is along for the ride.

There are several sizes/styles of seats ... I kind of like the V-Twin P/N 47-0768, although the 47-0605 is pretty cool.

There are a few guys who have the sprung seats on their Dynas that look okay ... but, sometimes they do look kind of awkward. I've noticed that a number of guys have taken the sprung seats off of their Softail Crossbones (that seat just doesn't quite look right to me ... kinda like it was stuck on as an afterthought, and that plastic pan--WTF???).

When you look at the '09 Street Bob, the seat design seems to be taking a styling cue from sprung seats with the seam along the back edge. I think that's a pretty good look.

I've thought of maybe trying a sprung seat that is about the same length and width as the solo seats like the LePera Barebones or Silhouette, and mount them without any springs ... you don't need them (since your bike has shocks, remember?).

I'd like to see how that looks. Maybe use the hair pin/clip style springs, shortened, so the seat almost sat directly on the frame.

Anyway, thought I'd add my musings for what they're worth ... just my $0.02.
