    Interesting design. Are the springs fairly rigid or is there a lot of bounce?

    Got-er-Done!!! I must say the project came out awesome. I took the bike for a spin and what a difference. The springs made a big difference in the ride, not alot on bounce. I had to beef up the spring support. I shot him back 1-1/4 inches and widen the seat 1-1/2 inches. Thanks for looking....
