Need input on new solo spring seat
 
2 Attachment(s)
So please be honest, It seems comfortable sitting on it but before I finish mounting it I wanted to see what everyone else thinks. Me, I think it is a little small or maybe it is just going to take some getting used too after the stock seat. I only paid $65 for the seat, front mount and 3" springs.

If I decide no then it is up for sale soon for what I paid.
I really wanted a 48 seat...kinda wished I had gone with that.

But it is kinda growing on me :icon_goofygrin:


Thanks
Barry

Looks a little small to me but that being said the proof is in the ride. Ride it decide if it's the seat for you. For $65, if it works out for you it's a great deal.

I like it

Not too small at all. Looks really sweet.

Thinking I need a plate under the seat to get the full effect, Going to use mreed"s idea.

Looks about the same size as mine.
At first it seemed small, the stock seat is a lot bigger....but after a few rides I adjusted.
Just ride it and you'll soon know one way or another.

I agree with having a small plate underneath it to make it look cleaner. I'm very interested in your rear fender. Where does that come from?

Hey Barry... did you get a chance to ride it with those 3'' springs?... I installed 3'' on mine.. and damn... those things are so rigid!!.. I wonder if there is a way to soften those springs... I already put about 7500 miles on them.. no nuttin!!.. as rigid as the day I installed them...

Wow, Joe, really?
I have 3" springs on my solo and they are far from rigid, plenty of give.
I'm guessing yours have a higher temper in the steel....where did you get yours?
I got mine off of e-bay, I can dig up the vendor if you'd like.
