Default air springer seat?

You can get air ride seat springs like these on ebay for $15 for a set of 2. Has anyone tried using them with a place of the spring on a stock springer seat? Seams like an easy mod and it would certainly ride nice.

Where there is a will there is a way. Make it work. Keep us posted. With a little innovation, I don't see why it shouldn't.

I bought two of those exact ones. They do not have but about 1" of travel, total.

I traded them off to WM, I don't know if he was able to do anything with them.

One inch isn't much, but the 6"+ of the stock springer isn't helpful either. 2" to 3" of progressively increasing compression would be ideal. Maybe I'll keep looking, there are lots of air springs out there.
