So that's 1/2 to 1 inch lower than the stock XBones seat?

 

Cool mod. Great idea. Looks clean!

 

Indeed, same metal seat pan, stock seat has about 1 inch of padding and this one has about .25 inch of high density padding. So you sit about 3/4 of an inch lower.

The leather one is more comfy and you don't "slide" out when accelerating. Gives a firmer feel.

I had the 2 inch spiral springs but as said before, they bottom out, so now thinking of trying these:

Good idea! I'm a lean mean 245lbs and i havn't had any issues with bottoming out at all? Im running 3" brass coated springs.

 

I also switched to 2" springs to get me lower, I'm 5' 10" and feet just barely got flat on the ground, switched seats and it got me so much lower I went back to the stock 3" springs. Must have lowered me more than 2" because even with the bigger springs I'm lower. The stock seat is pretty tall.

 

I agree, that stock seat is tall, i'm 5'10" as well and once i went to the the seat i have now i dropped me way down. It made such a difference that i decided not to do a lowering kit.

 

I really like the look after the lowering kit but I scrape my boards all the time as it is, the seat worked well enough for me too.

 

Did you ever get these springs? Did they lower the seat much? Do you bottom out? I've got the stock springs but I switched to the HD standard saddle.

 

Has anybody tried the "safety pin" style springs on the stock seat? I'm wondering if they bolt right on or not.
