Default spring solo..interesting

the only spring solo i really liked on our dynas is the one "Basic" had on his... Most of the others just looked too small, even the one that comes with the kit from Vtwin... and so then i wondered what a "P" style old school police seat would look like...and then I stumbled upon this Streetbob from England

That looks great.&nbsp\\; Really makes it look like a bike from several decades ago.&nbsp\\;

Not sure about that could be hydraulic posts, otherwise, why wouldn't he have slammed it down onto the frame? I'd think it'd look better that way, IMO.

AWESOME! This is an idea that I've been turning over in my head for the last couple weeks....I knew I couldn't be the only one. I think I prefer the look of the larger spring-solo seat, the uber-small ones don't do it for me. Keep us updated and let us know what you think, jsbridgew!!!
