Dump the stock seat, go to the junkyard, find a late 80's - mid 90's seat , drill 4 bolt holes and enjoy yourself. No more bounce, no more backaches. Makes for a sweet ride.

I had some broken springs fixed when I had the seat re-upholstered... any auto upholstery shop should be able to get springs for you if you wanna do it yourself...

I had them add some extra padding and it's pretty comfortable... no need to replace it with something newer that looks like it doesn't belong there...

Not only looks like it belongs there, also looks like it should have been there from the start.
