    Pogo Stick and T-bars

    Reply Contact

    Just got a new seat that fits the original pogo stick and t-bar for my 1983 FHLS. The problem is that the spring is so weak that I bottom it out when sitting and go metal to metal on the frame.  Central Texas Harley Davidson installed everything but just isn't right. I was going to purchase a new spring from a coil shop to replace but just found it strange that the spring would be so weak. Yes, I my weight is 220,  not that bad for being 6'2"!

     

    Am I missing something with all of this or is this normal?

     Wow ,i had forgot about the Pogo stick seat now that I have an 06 heritage. When I had my 1979 FLH, I worked in a metal fab shop. I used one of the Springs from a Sheetmetal stamp mill. There were many different springs to choose from. So when I found the right spring it worked great. I just added it to the  out side of the seat stem. It worked great.

    Dont forget to crank the nut on the bottom of the pogo to preload the spring. Otherwise your first couple inches of travel are only light compression. Rob
