Personaly if i had struts id go with the springer seat (springs on springs not for me).
i really like the look of the bare bones, havent tried it though but i think it would suit ur ride perfectly

Mine has the bare bones. I think it's the best choice.

As you can see, the Mustang seat looks a little out of place.

Or

Do the sprung seat and one of these - http://www.kansaskustom.com/Hardtail...bber_Mount.php

I was leaning towards the bare bones...it would be less expensive and less work, but I have always liked the way the spring seats looked.

Your bike is lookin' real good, man. At one point, mine looked very similar. Scroll through my pics if you wanna see how the seat looks. Not the most comfy, but I believe it claims to be the lowest profile seat you can buy for a sportster.

I had a Bare bones on my Dyna for awhile and I thought it was plenty comfy for about an hour at a time.I eventually took it off, the combination of the bare bones and Progressive Heavy Duty 11" shocks and Californias never ending freeway construction was too much for my old *** to take.
