I got mine off of e-bay, I can dig up the vendor if you'd like.
Hey Rev!!... I bought them from a local store.. I also have a set from licks... they feel identical.. the original 2'' that came with my licks solo seat have plenty of give but are too short for the seat I'm using now.. please let me know where you got them because these are too rigid compared to the 2''.. do you remember if you were able to squeeze yours with one hand?.. I can do it with the 2''... the 3'' only a bodybuilder can do... :-)

thanks much !!

I got mine from this place-

http://stores.ebay.com/Accufast-2-d-...id=p4340.l2563

I had 2" ones on and I loved how they looked, but they would bottom out, the 3"s don't and are a LOT more comfortable.
I don't have the bottoms bolted to anything, I just shaved down a rubber stopper about 2/3 of the way down so it fits in the spring and that rests on the frame.
