I can not answer your question, but my h has the seat on it like you describe (short shock between spring and pivot). These were Monroe seats I believe. Since my H is a 1951 and I believe it to be original and stock then I think the style like we have is newer than the style with the shock in the rear. Usually newer is better, unless beancounter accountants are involved.
I need to buy one of them heavy duty springs. My spring is weak. I am 6'5" and 250lbs. I have an old nerf football shoved inside the coil spring to help it out.
On the other hand, I have an older m that I am trying to fix up with the old factory pipe seat and no shock. I think that one is going to be a rough rider and a candidate for upgrade.
I have actually considered welding up my own riser platform so I can install one of those universal type seats with suspension but that will cost some $. But having a backrest and sliding track adjustment just might be worth it. You can even get those seats that have armrests too for even more $.
An alternative option might be to buy a whole seat assembly off a 460 or a 560. I think that would bolt right up to the existing platform and you gain a backrest.
I will be following this thread with interest.
