Rocker-C Build

I was getting numb hands and fingers, so found out about these weights:

Installation was a breeze, with a bit of persuasion (i.e. big hammer) they slid right in. I haven't had time yet to ride with them installed....

Cheap solution!!! YAY!

The seat looks fantastic! From the photos it appears that it is just sitting on top of the two springs. Shouldn't the front two tabs with the holes in them be pushed down until you can run a bolt through that mounting tube? It seems like that would make the seat pitch forward until you put body weight on it and perhaps that is okay. With the rocker swing arm doing it's function is the new seat going to be hitting the rear fender?

These dampers are interesting to me. I would love to reduce the vibrtion and it's affect on my mirrors. When you pounded them into the handlebars do you have to worry about hitting any wires inside the handlebars? The dampers appear to be about 6-7 inches long. Can you tell us how long they actually are?

I have a fixed rear fender, I converted it to a Heartland rear fender, which is fixed in place, so it may hit the rear fender if I sit on it and bounce.... will have to see if that is going to happen when I have the seat installed.

They don't fit with throttle by wire models though.

So the springer/solo seat didn't work out, I got it mounted but the springs were too soft and the riding position became to high. Canned that one!!
But I didn't want to loose the seat engraving so took my Heartland seat off and had it recovered locally.
Pretty good end result, with out the loss of riding position or the looks of the bike!
