Some with full or partial suspension - others with minimal weight and not designed for plushness in any way.

All of this to say that I've never come across another rider who wanted to specifically modify a saddle to tune its springs to give isolation from the road. I've just not come across that. I suspect that many of the posters in this thread haven't either. So our answers - attempting to be helpful (maybe a bit condescendingly) wound up sounding obtuse and irrelevant to you. I gues that we're trying to tell you "it's not done that way", but that's not what you want to hear.

Hey - you probably have a pretty thick skin. Just blow off the responses that don't help, and accept the ones that try. You'll figure something out if you apply your skills and effort. Good luck.
Well, thanks for that. It may be one of the better responses so far. I WILL change what my seat springs do....to my liking. I just figured I'd ask here before hand.....just in case there WAS something I didn't know about that would've saved me some time. Years ago I met a guy that spent a small fortune adapting some kind of Ford intake manifold to fit a Cadillac engine. He thought no one made speed parts for modern Caddy engines....later to find out Edelbrock DID have one.... for a fraction of what he spent adapting the Ford intake. I'm trying not to follow in his footsteps. So, here I am, asking questions
