try ebay I'd try Harley seat springs in the search field. If you can't find em there you are in trouble.

There has been a lot of talk about smaller springs in the forum. I got 2" from Drag Specialities. $8.95. Didnt like them at all. Looked perfect and fit perfect but the DS springs are less stiff and tended to fully compress and bottom out on rides. Numerous posters here were looking for stronger/shorter springs or other options all together. I never saw any updates on better replacements.

HaloFan, i am looking for the shorter springs, what are the stock springs size? More then 2''?? Also, if you dont mind me asking, how much do you weigh? I dont think i will be able to bottom out the seat at 170lbs... But maybe!

I have the drag specialties 2" on mine and they are fine. I weigh about 200 and I very rarely bottom them out. You are going to have to use the end caps off the stockers. Here is a pic.

I got mine from my local Harley shop. They should be able to get them for you. I picked mine up for under $10.

I am 190 lbs and the J&P 2" springs do not bottom out, sounds like the drag specialities are a little weaker. Stock are 3".
