Default 2006 Sportster: CHEAP SPRINGER SEAT.

I've been riding this hardtail for over a year with a regular seat. Kinda sick of it. I'm looking for a CHEAP spring seat or mini airbag seat. Anyone got any ideas? It doesn't even have to have padding or be stitched. I want something low-profile too. I'm only 5'7" and I still wanna be able to put my feet on the ground. Any info or pics would be great. Also, I don't have my mig welder anymore, so a bolt-on kit would be PERFECT! Thanks everyone!

Check e-bay they have some cheep spring seats. You can make a seat pan without welding. I used aluminum plate for the boys bike. Few bucks for springs and your in.
