ok i have the stock nightster seat on my bike and thinking of doing spring seat, my ? is does it leave u in stock riding position or does it pull u back a lil like the mustang seats do or does it push u fowrd a lil?

and also how comfy is it if u put the struts in instead of shocks?

thank u in advanced and ride safe!

 

It'll move you up and either forward or back depending on the seat/kit.

As for comfort, well, it's pretty decent except for potholes.

 

IMO, the springs lift the saddle too high and ruin the lines of the bike. Springs are more appropriate from an aesthetics standpoint on a hardtail that drops pretty quickly behind the tank. Your bike already has springs - the rear shocks, so why not install the solo saddle with simply some rubber bumpers and lay it right up against the frame? It looks great when done that way. There are lots of examples of that here on this forum for a bit of searching. (mine is done that way, too)

 

I've got the Burley 10.5" shocks on my bike, and had the seat on rubber bumpers.
Looked great.
But, since they don't really compress all that much, (Neither do the shocks..) after 2 days of riding my body told me to put springs on the seat.
My back loved me for it.
I have 3" springs on it now, but I don't like how high it makes the seat, I'm picking up some 2" ones next week.

 

I've been wanting to put this seat on my Sportster as well, but was told it is not very comfortable (I have a Mustang double seat right now, and really want a single). I have my shocks all the way down so pot holes already jar my teeth, so I thought this would be the perfect seat. Perhaps the best thing is to see if the dealer has one in stock that they would let you/us try. I think they look really GREAT!

 

where do u get seat with rubber?

 

If you have an 09' you have to relocate your ECM if your going with a sping seat.

 

I found a kit on eBay search under mother road customs the kits look great but they cost some cash , but they look too high to me.

 

keep looking. I found a Lapera seat, with springs and bracket for 75$ shipped. Whats that? you dont believe me? oh snap

"where do u get seat with rubber?"
I made my set-up.
Bought a pan off of e-bay and had bolts welded on.
On the bolts I put rubber stoppers on, backed by washers and a locknut.
Like I said, I liked the lines, but the ride was pretty harsh....
