SWB repro seat?

I have the Sargent seat on my bike and it isnt nearly as high a quality as the original r-90 seat or the German manufactured RS replacement Seats available through Seibenrock.

The RS repro seats are 100% to factory specs, while the Sargent seat thats on my R-90 has a shiny cover, the seat base is plastic and the hinges are junk. The hinge hooks bend easily and they aren't manufactured to spec, so they scratch the frame.

If I ever find a nice original seat for sale, I'm grabbing it!

I decided not to use springs since I had the Koni shocks for suspension. I didn't want to make it too soft and bouncy.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you in terms of TOO much bouncing around...plus, it puts the seat higher than I'd like it...real nice looking installation, those rubber bumpers should be cushion enough, I think...
