looking to add a duel seat option

I had a 2 up Corbin seat and it uses the same holes on the fame as the bracket but the Corbin has a built in frame and just uses the same holes.

hopefully......I pm'd him the link right after I found it....I have seen several 2-up seats on ebay before and most of them did not include the mounting brackets/frame. I am curious...does a replacement Corbin seat use the same frame and mounts? Might explain why seats come available, but not the mount.....The one I bought a few months ago was a Fire&Steel factory seat that included the mounting frame...got lucky I guess..I bought the grab rail, also, but then decided to put a backrest and chrome rack on instead, so the grab rail is back up for sale here. Had a heck of a time trying to find the backrest/rear rack mounting brackets...eventually I gave up and made my own. Worked out ok and now I have a backrest for passengers (wife/daughter/83 yr old mom) when they are willing to go for a ride. Yes...my 83 yr old mom likes to ride...she grew up in Germany with her dad owning a BSA Motorcycle store and professionally road and MX racing....

Dude in TX selling one on FB in the Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter page.......

the 2-up seat has a full tubular frame welded to the frame mounting brackets to keep the passenger seat from flexing -see the attached pics. You need this to use the 2-up seat. Maybe someone here as an old one they are will to part with

Are you still looking for a 2-up seat for your 800 Drifter?

found a seat but now I need the 2 up brackets. Didn't realize I would need additional parts.

Forget the dual seat option. With that military green paint I'd go for a side car

Anybody tried fabricating custom mounts for a duel seat? I've been looking everywhere, eBay, Craigslist etc but can't find anything decent.

Anybody have a duel seat they want to part with? Any condition, I can have reupholstered.

Thanks in advance!

Oh I really like that RCAF Rondel, and the front fender license plate that is really cool........

Yes, stock solo seat. My fabricate my own brackets and install another solo seat behind the driver seat.

Are you running a solo seat right now?
