INFORMATION:
This is a comprehensive kit to convert the Triumph Bonneville Bobber to an 'invisible' Springer Seat configuration.
The spring rate is user adjustable so you can fine-tune the spring rate to your preferred level of plushness while still allowing fore/aft seat adjustment as per the original design.
A seat is not included, you must use your existing seat.
After-market seats can be accomodated as long as that seat does not project rearward any further than the OEM seat, doesn't have any built-in 'flex' and mounts to the original seat bracket.
This kit is compatible with the original OEM rear shock absorber and the Triumph issued Fox rear shock absorber. It will not work with any other aftermarket shock absorber.
Kit comprises of:
Main seat mount bracket.
Four springs according to your indicated riding weight.
Spring bottom mount and clamp.
Components to complete the installation.
Ride maximums:
This Springer Seat system will support riders with a weight
range of up to 122kg/270lbs - seat in forward position, or
up to 115kg/255lbs - seat in rear position.
Seat vertical motion - forward seat position - 2 1/2"/ 63mm.
- rearward seat position - 2"/ 50mm.
Update:
Version2 of this kit is under development which will allow it to work with aftermarket shock absorbers.
28/03 Just returned from a successful 2400km 'test ride' with Version2 fitted, now it's on to getting the spring sizes/rates locked down.
18/04 This version2 was going to be a 'one size fits all' with regard to aftermarket shocks, it's now apparent that direction will have an adverse effect on the kits' performance with some brands of aftermarket shocks, so... the kit will have now have the ability to be 'adjusted' by the end user to optimize the spring effect and, to a point, the ride height. Every kit can now be optimised for every shock brand.
Availability should be late May.

Thanks again

Hi Michael,
Just rode my Bobber today after fitting your springer conversion. Got the Triumph Shock on it, plus your part. Was so impressed with the comfort it has given my bike. Only took 15 mins to fit with your clear instructions. Transformed my ride. Over the moon.
Many thanks.
