OR being a smart a$$ does not look well on you, you need not lower yourself to PC's standard......lol.......I am tinkering with a solo seat in my living room, Nothing like working on the bike or watchng a hockey game sitting on my bike, looking outside and knowing it it is like -27*C and starting to snow, and I am nice and toasty warm........

- January 16, 2017, 13:41:59 PMJust park it in your living room like ratman does.....you can sit on it and watch tv....hahaha. I know what you mean about being cold....we have had much colder than normal weather here in Oregon...been down in the teens at night and not even above freezing during the day....that is very rare where I am...and now we are suppose to get a bunch of freezing rain with ice buildup over the next couple of days.....I think I will work from home starting tomorrow until Friday.....
Glad you like the mounts and rack.....looking forward to see some pictures when you are done....

- January 03, 2017, 15:48:23 PMone thing I really need from someone on this forum is the exact distance between the 1500 saddlebag mounts I have sold on here when mounted on the bike. Inside measurement across the rear wheel and fender. I assumed that it is similar to the 800...but you know what happens when you assume... So, please help me out so I can make sure new rack/mounts are 100% compatible across both models....
Thanks,

- January 03, 2017, 15:40:23 PMWell...the racks and mounts are now sold out. I most likely will only order more mounts when I get enough interest for more. The chrome racks are available on ebay, but you really have to look around. I will also look into making the mount just like the OEM 1500 style with the rack built in....but it would most likely be with a flat bars instead of round bars, to save cost on the manufacturing....
to Allstateguy and HurtSoMuch...Let me know how you like this setup and take lots of pictures....

- January 01, 2017, 13:20:53 PMI had the chrome solo rack mounted directly to the fender as well, but since it bounces up and down all the time, I was looking for an alternative....I saw the factory solo racks that mount on the 1500 to the saddlebag mounting arms and thought "hey...I can figure something like that out for the 800". Instead of just making it into an all-in-one rack and mount, I made the mount fit the rack (with curved mounting points) and adjustable height settings where it bolts to the saddlebag mounts. It actually works on both the 800 and 1500. and if you want to take the chrome rack off, you can bolt a trunk to it with some minor spacing to allow for the curved mounting holes....I have had mine on now for a couple of weeks and it looks like it "belongs" on the bike....I also put a pad on top and sat on it....it held my 240lbs with no problem...the only issue that I have had so far is that opening the saddlebags is a little bit of a pain, since the fold open towards the fender and the mount is in the way a little bit...but I can live with that until I can afford to get the Saddleline bags I want....
thanks for the compliments...and Happy New Year to all...

- December 31, 2016, 18:13:10 PMthat is a great looking addition. strange my 06 came with what must be an OEM solo rack, which bolts directly on to the fender somehow and is quite strong--I've had at least 25 lbs on there and it don't even budge.

- December 30, 2016, 15:45:39 PMThat's a great addition to the Drifter acc. Looks great and your bag mounts are perfect so I am sure these are as well.......I got two of the factory cargo racks and love it. I have one mounted a small luggage chest with no saddle bags. The other to my solo seat set-up saddle bags with your bag mounts. Now 800 owners have a lot more options. Good job....

It makes me wanting a set... but not for now: I've already drained my budget for this year!
