Initial Review of CoC Customs Springer Seat Kit for the Triumph Bobber.

My initial thoughts after installing the kit and test driving my Bobber with the kit installed.

The spring does raise the seat slightly but in the forward position I can still flat foot it easily. I’m 5’9” with short legs. I fitted the heavy spring which is great for me. I’m 14 and a half stone - 203lbs.

I fitted the same a few weeks ago. I agree, this is the single best modification and I would recommend that it is the first modification anyone should do. I wasted money prior to fitting this spring. I changed the seat for a triumph comfort seat, that made no discernible difference to the comfort. I swapped out the shock for a Fox shock, which improved the ride slightly when on its softest setting, which affected the handling. I added seat cushions, that made only a slight difference. I could have saved a lot of money by fitting this seat spring first.

An excellent review. Thank you. I ordered mine a few days ago so should have it pretty soon. I like you am on the short side (5’5”) so I’m a little concerned about increasing seat height. I just wonder if moving the seat back will then adversely affect handlebar reach ? I’m looking forward to installing mine nonetheless.

It's not much of a height difference but it did seem to be noticeable. I haven't moved mine back yet but if I like the seat feel when I do and I don't like the bars I will probably find a set of bar risers that will pull them back just a bit. Personally I don't like the hangers look on these bikes so I have no plans to do that.

@@TheTinydev I’ve ordered bar risers too which bring the bars back an inch toward the rider so I’m sure I’ll find the optimum for me. I agree regarding the ape hangers, they just don’t look right (to me anyway)

@@pauldoyle9709 Yep. Everyone's bike is their own. It's not my look but if someone loves it on their bike more power to them. :)

Does it stop the butt ache?? My back is fine, my 💩 er kills 💯🤦🏼

@@darrenhodge5161 That hasn't been an issue for me so couldn't say if this helps or not. British Customs seat never gave me much of an issue with that.
