100 TW
3 seats
#1 is a good seat, steel base, steel loops, steel plate rails, 1/2" of movement stock 3" or 3.5" springs.
#2 is shitty, plastic base, steel loops, steel plate rails, 1/2" smaller rings then #1, Metal loop broke after 2 days.
#3 is the red one, plastic base, unsure about the rest, dont matter, waste of time and $5, maybe lasted a month of babying it.
Yes all three have different sizes, seem to be off 1/2".
Also require a handle attached to seat post.
Problems arise when moving the heavy ebike around, springs come loosened.
Latest fix, used #1 with 1/2" longer springs, should last a bit until I figure out what to do. Like not move bike around by seat.
Seats and me never last. All steel is good.

Goal is FS fat, one thing at a time though.
Will two rear suspension coils be good cushioning for the seat on a custom fab? Aside from FS.
Going to dust off the welder and add beef
Any good idea's out there?
Seat Post idea's
A good fat persons seat, though I say my fats stretched out on a 6'5" frame :wink:

To this, good for a while I hope!
My idea. Two steel plates, sandwich two coils from rear suspension bikes. Flat steel plate up to the pivot, which holds the coil spring in but will see if it rubs. Them RS springs are quite long, 3-1/2" or maybe even 4" I will have to check that out, dont wanna shorten them. Forums say 500+ RS spring for heavyweights, so two 350's or 400's. Extend the bolt out with the elongated nut with new rod. That long nut will do double duty, as the stock setup also has a lower bolt. Will see what comes of it, I have one coil off RS, want two same, not lots of used supply out there.
