Wow man nice ride. I got no info on the bags but was wondering I'm new to drifters and motorcycles in general I love the 80s you have on your bike and was wondering what size they are and where did you get the cables necessary for them I have been looking for cables and can't locate anywhere I'm not quite sure of each cable that I need I would like to put 20" on my bike if you could point me in the right direction and let me know what cables I need I know there's breaks trottle clutch etc it would be greatly appreciated thank you so much

Not cheap!  But I guess we all choose our mods, right?

You got that right . Hey , I guess we all pay more then we would like to achieve the look were after for our bikes . Bike looks great and hope it's comfortable for the miss ' s .

That looks great Dcardova!  So that's the Indian Leather color - I was looking at that.  It's much nicer than the little square patch on their website makes it look!!   Corbin will re-cover and repair one of their seats for 1/2 of the price of  a new seat.  I'm considering sending the one on my 800 back in over the winter - was looking at the same color you got.  That's SWEET.

It's Corbin's seat for the Drifter 800. Comes ready to mount. Studs, conches, fringe, and the diamond stitch pattern with the 2014 Vintage Indian leather color.  Was $960.  I see a nice two up Corbin in black on EBay right now....looks like few bids!

Dcardova , now that seat looks SWEET  8) If you don't mind what's the price tag on something like this ?

 Very nice looking bike, even with all that chrome...lol......like the rear fender stays a touch of class......and the back rest is really nice.

FYI....a little update.  Ground down the inside of the Corbin seat in a pattern to match the mounting brackets of my bags....worked like a charm! See attached pic.

Nice air filter cover! Where does it come from? any close up picture?


Dcardova

Sort of sounds like if there is a will, there is a way.  Once I find a seat....I hope to get it ironed out.  Thanks for the guidance :)

Yea- what they said....

most of the 800 brackets -that I have seen-  mount on the same 2 holes that the seat mounts to.  If that is the case with yours - should work w/ a Corbin 2-up.

Some mounts use a third bolt down lower - exhaust mount on the right side, and a new hole has to be drilled on the left.  Like the Scootworks mounts (attached pic) or the ones I made for mine.

Not sure how the bags are mounted. It really depends upon the mounting hardware you have for the bags.

Thanks.  It is a sweet ride!  I laid in the weeds for the last two years prowling and waiting to pounce on a nice 800....she is fantastic!   But I need to close the loop by getting my wife on the back and having her love it too! Lol

I hear you .... the saying goes if momma isn't happy no one is  :o

I have some gorgeous Travel Horse brown leather saddle bags on my 800.  Is it possible to use a Corbin 2 up seat (or stock) and STILL have my saddle bags mounted?  Someone told me that is an incompatible situation.  Forgive my experience..... Thanks for comments and advice.
