I'm looking for softer seat springs for a Crossbones sprung seat I want the same length just not as stiff. Sources?

 

 

Are you wanting something softer than the stock seat, or are you running the tractor seat? Depending on what you're wanting, Wild *** is a great option to consider as well. No mods needed and it worked incredibly well for me.

 

I used a Crossbones mounting kit on my Softail Slim and have a Corbin reproduction tractor seat mounted to that. On an earlier Harley I owned I had pretty much the same set up but the springs came from J&P Cycles. Those springs had just a little give to them and were perfect for my 195 lb weight. My current springs have 0 give to them and might as well be steel struts. Part of what makes these seats work so well is the built in suspension. J&P cycles is not what it used to be when I bought the last set up, back then they had numerous springs to choose from and you could best pick the tension that worked for you. If I had to guess the springs I have now are probably for a 250 lb rider. I'm hoping to find some one who carries springs that can give me technical data on them.

 

Maybe here?

My home PC I think I have an old link to some springs which were recommended ages ago. They were a sort of "progressive" spring, lot of give at first but then stiffened up. I had contemplated putting them on my seat for awhile. Will update if I find it.

 

This is a bit pricey in my opinion, but you might check out the airspring from TCBros...

Madman, thanks!

Shooter, I think a progressive spring would be ideal. I hope you can find that info.

WKNDS, Thanks, I like that air spring but I want to stay with a more traditional look.

 

Sorry Carl, no joy on the link. Brings me to a 404 page, no longer found. But it was off the Lowbrow Customs web page. Sorry I couldn't help more

 

Your effort is much appreciated.
