Default seat help!!

This might sound crazy...... but i like my bones the best when it has just the factory battery cover/seat pan on it. i have rode it briefly like that and LOVE how low and inside i feel. Got a bare bones that i like but just not the same.

So....... i need advise or suggestions on how to make the battery cover ride-able or way to fab up something to take its place. Thought bout getting the thinnest springer solo i could find and just not put springs under it???

Any ideas would be great..... Thanks!!

You could try some 1 inch springs but I'm sure they will bottom out

Yeah, I just know that you can get as low as a BareBones seat, with a spring seat, even without the springs.
I'm sure you could get a seat pan made

Thinkin might just put very thin padding and wrap the stock pan and just use that as my seat.

take a look at the H-D 1929 orignal solo seat. I believe it is the same pan as the oem bonz seat but with only thin padding. It is suprisingly comforable. Same seat as in my signature.
