Yes, I got an email from USPS the day it was shipped. Recieved the package a few days later.

I just finished installing the seat w/ the springs. Im currently running the stock suspension, so im not 100% satisfied with the looks (not a big fan of spring seats with suspension). I may mount it to the frame until my rigid struts get here. I will try to post some pics later.

I have one with suspension and seat springs. Every once in a while I get comments about it not looking old school that way but it just shows their ignorance...that IS how they were back in the day.

But I also like the look of a non-sprung solo seat mounted way down low.

Ended up mounting it directly to the frame.

I would like to see more pics out in the daylight of this one that has no springs. That is what I was planning but haven't got a chance to pick one up yet.

No, I drilled two holes and bolted it directly to the frame. I dont think the studs on my seat are long enough to fit through something like that. I like that idea though.
