- February 27, 2011, 19:22:25 PMTdowns, Yes, I am interested in selling both the mounts and bags. Mounts are new and unused. Bags were "used" by a PO who must've over filled them while using Scootworks mounts because they are slightly cracked around several of the mounting holes. Not broken, but cracked. Shouldn't be any problems using Osprey mounts as they sit in a different location and mount up tight on the inside and outside of each bag. I can't be sure, but from the looks of things the scootworks mounts don't appear to have had any inside stiffeners used around each hole. The bags have minor scrapes and a few scratched conchos from the PO's laydown. I'll sell 'em at a good price. PM me if you're interested. Mike in TX PS: Chief, I've looked at that solution and it just seems very "busy" to my eye. Besides...I like the naked bike look better on the Drifter.

Corbin solo and Osprey bags - no drilling.
Just a reminder ALWAYS look in the MODS/TIPS section of the website. There is a LOT of stuff over there that can be useful to you.

- February 26, 2011, 13:18:07 PMThe osprey mounts will work with the OEM seats, but not with my Corbin solo (at least not without drilling holes through the front hole locations. Ouch!) I have a nice set of tan ospreys with the Osprey mounts, but won't drill my corbin to mount them. (yes, the Corbin is so much better than the OEM solo that I prefer it.) (looks better too) Mike in TX

- February 20, 2011, 11:02:32 AMI recently bought a 2001 Drifter 800 with solo seat. I would also like to have a dual seat and saddlebags, so I have a couple questions.
It seems the mounts sold by Osprey (Treveleer) @ $99 that mount to the seat are the best value I've found. Is that correct?
My second question is will that mount fit both the single and dual oem seat? How about the Corbin dual seat?
I have read a lot on this site about bags and mounts and it seems some of the manufacturer's claims aren't accurate, so I'm asking the "experts" here. Thanks!
