Momentary panic

I appreciate your comments guys.
I think I will just ride it for now with the factory single seat that came as part of the package. Since I will be following Driftin' Girl when out with the Drifter, I can see what a Corbin seat looks like by keeping an eye on her rear end, which is an even better view since she lost 10 lbs. !

I too like the black , KW . This reason behind the picture provided was to show options with the jewels on the seat , sorry should have mentioned that in the previous thread . Although the Indian looks SWEET just the way its set up LOL

I'm not much on the red and tan combo....that black seat looks good to me against red bodywork....just sayin'....give it some time.

I'm going to have to agree , IMOP it looks dam good , Mike . Maybe PC is on to something with adding a touch of jewel , but then again I've always been a fan of the jewels , myself . Take a look at this Mike .

I think it looks really nice. The black, red, and chrome seem to go great together. I think it just looks so much different from the way it was before that it is kind of a shock to the system. You went from having the back end of the bike be pretty busy really, with the 2 up seat, saddlebags, sissy bar, and luggage rack (if I'm looking at the right pictures) to a rather simple look comparatively. It will probably just take some getting used to. I think it looks great though.

I think it looks great, Mike. What don't you like about it??

You could easily 2-tone that bike, with some black or ivory as the second color....

I see nothing wrong with it, loads of solid coloured rides have a black solo seat, goggle images of the Drifter 800 and see what seats and what colour scheme is out there.
I would suggest a new paint job, but then DriftinGirl will put me on a no visit list, or hit list, and then we have to listen to you and GB talking about painting for another year...... .....
Ok for a red bike try and tan solo, with a touch of them little chrome buttons. Or distressed brown seat leather seat.

DECSISION time............

I don't know.....I quite like it! Add colored jewels like the old Indian's maybe?

Guess I forgot the 2 toned pic..

MikeakaFred · April 21, 2014, 08:36:38 AM

I removed all the 2 up stuff from my 800 and decided I would try Driftin' Girl's seat on my bike to see how it would look. There is something seriously lost in translation.
The Corbin looks Great on her 2 toned 2004 but on my red 2003...not so much.
Any 'bike decorators' out there who might venture a solution .......
