Default New Seat
Just a few pics of my new spring seat installation. Had to fabricate a bracket and drill 2 holes for the springs but no welding. I went with 2" springs, would have prefered 1" springs to get more of a slope but I could not mount them and still have travel with the springs as the top and bottom bolts would have touched. Sorry that they're dark but I just got finished (08:55 PM East Coast). It's going to be in the high 30's tommorow morning (I'm in Florida, WTF?) so I probably won't get to test ride but it feels good sitting in the garage.

Looks great, that's the way HD should have made it in the first place.

I had a spring on the Bob for about 2 weeks. I LOVED the look but unfortunately it moved me too far forward.
