I bought a used bike with a 2-stroke power plant equipped with ape hangers
But I found it a very uncomfortable ride with the seat where it was so I removed The seat and mounted it over the rear wheel. Then if I was on a bumpy road it was beating me to death. I had some rear springs off a E scooter and ran them under the seat down to the frame. No more problems rides like a Cad .

I built a springer seat for my newest bike. I haven't ridden it motorized yet but pedaling it around and getting a feel for how it rides I've been pleased with the softer ride even without padding and uphostery.

Please post some photos of your spring mounts.
