- December 20, 2016, 21:09:46 PMThanks...it works with the 1500 mounts as well. The mounting holes match both models. I can also have it made with just a flat top and no mounting tabs for the chrome rack. I am hoping others want try it out....I also hung a couple of tool bags to the frame and they sit on top of the saddle bags....just seeing what I can add here and there...the mount is strong enough to put a seat pad on if you want...

- December 20, 2016, 18:54:12 PMwell, I decided to go ahead and have a solo rack made for my drifter that would attach to the upper bolt holes on the saddlebag mounts that I have been selling. I had it designed so that I could mount my old style chrome fender rack directly to it. I had it made so that you could adjust the height to 3 different settings (about 2 inches total height movement). I have it at the lowest mounting height on the bike and there is still plenty of room for the rear fender at maximum compression...It is made of the same steel as the bag mounts and has the same heavy powdercoating. It works on either the 800 mounts or the 1500 mounts. I sat directly on it on the bike and it didn't budge....very strong....and....I have two complete sets for sale in the classifieds....
