How does if feel??

Mike, thanks for asking.  I like the seat.  I would love it if my girl friend would ride on it as I thought she might, but she got spoiled on the back of the Goldwing and just won't ride very far on the Drifter 2 up.  Thats ok, I can use the 2 up platform for cargo and stack on it.  The seat itself is very comfortable.

This is my second trip through the 60's; the first time the drugs were better !

Yes, currently it does block the tail and blinkers.  I am going to add some led to the hitch rack.... as I already have the bike wired for a trailer.

pretty cool!
does the cooler block the tail light/lic plate from rear?

The hitch is mounted to the main frame of the bike.  It allows the swing arm to move freely.  check this video out.

    Larry you will have to add a couple of small wheels to that so when you do bottom out the wheels will take the brunt of the hit......

GPS is not to get you THERE but rather to get you home from THERE

Looks good, Larry.  That would be useful.   Just keep an eye on the amount of weight you put on there - the actual static weight isn't the problem, but when that thing gets bouncing up and down, it makes a big difference.  That thing has a center of gravity much farther back than your hitch....

Nice rig.

I added the rack and moved some luggage around on the bike.  Feedback appreciated.
