Black SOLO Seat Bracket Spring Base Mount Kit Barrel Spring For Sportster Chopper Bobber Custom Dyna

I turned a 1996 Honda Shadow VT1100c2 ACE into a bad to the bone bobber and needed a solo spring seat. I haven’t previously sat on a spring seat in person, so I’m not to sure what I’d like or expect from it. I chose the economic route as a starter and this to me is an ideal starter seat. Maybe your forever seat, but I’ll make my own eventually. It really is a 4.5/5 star. You get what you pay for which is pennies in the dollar, but it isn’t a $200 custom seat, so don’t expect that or a custom fit/install. It’s decently adjustable fore and aft. It’s a universal bobber seat and designed well. It’s sturdy for being a 22 gauge or so steel seat pan. I had to make my own under seat/air intake cover by cutting some $8 22 gauge steel to cover the frame beneath the seat and you’ll have to do the same (cardboard stencil it first with 1/4” overlap on the frame and good weather stripping beneath the cover you make if you choose to make one, this won’t cover your frame). I also welded on a 14 gauge crossmember to bolt it down in the rear at the center point so I can unbolt (I used a threaded knob like on the handle of a lawnmower), flip it up, remove the cover and access electronics and intake of storage. The kit was missing nuts and washers, but I needed some for other bolts and nuts for the build so I just got some at Ace hardware for less than a dollar and didn’t complain to amazon like a giant baby. It looks awesome and it’s as comfy as I’d imagine MOST spring seats to feel. Same coils as 99% of spring seat coils on the internet as far as I could tell, so it meets the standards. Price is good for what you get. Great starter and not a loss when I’m ready to upgrade to something more custom on my build. Decide now if you want to build your own or get this nearly complete kit. I got the kit and I’ll decide later on my own design. Dimensions are great for my rear and, but I have a 32” waist and maybe a 12” wide butt at most.

Installed on my Sporty , kinda cheap but did the trick for a good price. Customer loved it ..

Stitching is not great, missing hardware, washers that go between springs and seat are way too small, after a lot of customization and replacement of hardware i got it installed. Also will definitely be reupholstering because its extremely uncomfortable and material used is crap.

Value for money

The hardware was spot on but the seat left some to be desired lol, replaced it after about 100 miles for something a little wider and with more cushion

a little welding and this seat helped the kids be more comfortable on bumpy trails. holding up great

Didn't install because it's way to small. Can't return because they don't take returns

great product, good price, fast delivery
