Preacher 26th June 2005, 10:27 The modern renditions of the old-school sprung seats are very comfortable. I had one on my FLHS for years, loved it.

IMO, the only thing less comfortable than a stock seat would be no seat at all.
:yikes
flathead45 26th June 2005, 19:24 havn't rode on it yet, but I have an old style smooth solo on my trumpit and it seems really comfy just sittin on it in the shop , my worry is if its gonna be too slippery and that I might slide right off the back of it
but that will be something I will have to find out after I get her back up and runnin
by the way , that big ass sprung seat I have on my flatty is "da bomb" for comfort
tonydangerous 27th June 2005, 05:05 Cool,
Thats good to hear, I just didn't want to shell out a ton of dough for a super
uncomfortable seat when I could just get a mustang. Thanks for the replies
fellas. by the way, I saw the pic of your trumpit flathead. What a freakin cool
ride!
Bill2 28th June 2005, 16:44 Tony check this one out. I put one of these on a friends bike and it was real comfortable on 150 mile trips. It's a little thicker padding than alot of spring type solo's out there. Check this place out too they have over 10 styles of solo's www.lickscycles.com
tonydangerous 28th June 2005, 20:56 Yea, I saw those seats at licks cycles, cool stuff!
Dogmann 3rd July 2005, 02:36 How does this seat attach?
How does this seat attach?You bolt a couple brackets on that connect to the seat.
Here's a pic of one of the licks seat with its hardware:

TNsportster 3rd July 2005, 12:44 yeah - I like mine.
Butt my butt was kinda sore after a recent 5 hour ride on it!
It's STILL WAAAY more comfy than the stock seat!
Mark_Bench 3rd July 2005, 14:59 yeah I Sat on TNsportsters seat, and personally it sucked to me, mostly cause my but was bigger than the seat....and I think i actually bottomed out the springs too...
TNsportster 3rd July 2005, 16:32 The problem is, IMO, that you can't really shift around on it - it holds you in one spot, which, combined with forward controls, really locks you into position.
Oh - Mark: My springs bounced back just fine!!!
Bill2 3rd July 2005, 23:33 You can get different size springs 2" 3" 4" ect.
