- February 11, 2026, 08:02:52 AMHello everyone!
As I mentioned in my introduction, I just bought a beautiful 1999 Kawasaki Drifter 800 (model VN800C). I'm in the middle of restoring it, and one of the things I want to do is replace the factory two-up seat with the OEM single seat. I was very lucky and found this seat model (part number 53001-1949-MA) as NOS (New Old Stock) through Wallapop (a second-hand marketplace platform in Spain, Portugal, and Italy). After doing some research, I've discovered that two brackets are needed to attach the seat: the LH-bracket 32046-1494 and the RH-bracket 32046-1495. For aesthetic reasons, it's also recommended to install a cover under the seat that conceals the battery and wiring; part number is 14091-1368. This cover isn't necessary if you have the two-seater seat because the seat itself already conceals the battery and cables.
So far I've only been able to find the RH-bracket 32046-1495, but I've searched eBay and the main websites specializing in new and used spare parts worldwide (Europe, USA, and Japan), and it seems impossible to find the other two parts I'm missing. I'm considering making them myself, but first I wanted to take this opportunity to ask if by chance any fellow rider with a Kawasaki Drifter 800 that originally came from the factory with the single seat (VN800E models from 2001 to 2006) has switched to a two-seater and no longer needs the under-seat cover or the brackets, and would be willing to sell them to me.
Another possibility would be if someone who has these two pieces would be kind enough to send me detailed photos of all sides (ideally with a measuring ruler) so I could make them myself.
I'm attaching photos of these two pieces that I found online so you can easily identify them.
Thank you so much for your help!
