As anyone who rides a DB30 off road knows, the ride is pretty rough and does a number on your back after riding for a while. So I have been searching through the forum for people who have added seat springs to their doodlebugs and it doesn't seem like its a very popular modification. I don't really want to get into cutting the forks/rear end and adding suspension and replacing the seat or re-foaming it doesn't seem like it would help as much as I'd prefer so I want to go with seat springs. I found a pair of 3'' solo seat springs for motorcycles for 10$ that I will mount to the back of the seat and a hinge for the front.
If I use these springs obviously my ride height will increase approx. 2'' when springs are compressed therefore I would increase the front of the seat equally for a level seating position :hammer:. So my question is, will this increase in height make the bikes handling significantly worse or unstable?? I'm hoping someone out there has attempted this mod before and could give me some feedback, would love to give my back a break!
