I have two love them, it takes a little getting used to the extra height. Getting the right spring length can be tricky, to short and it hits your fender, also don't go to narrow, unless it is a bar hopper.

Here's a comfortable spring seat for you. The "comfort flex" aka "beartrap" seat. Only thing is you'll need either a shovel or a torch/welder to make it work.
