Installed a chrome version of the risers I had on my 800 today.  What a difference 2" higher and  1 1/2" back makes.  The install was even easier than on the 800, didn't really have to mess with rerouting and cables.  If anyone needs a set of black risers let me know.

There is a bunch of stuff you need for the two-up seat. There is a list -  http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/solo2dbl.html

I just got in a tan REAL corbin saddle in good condition, with the L brackets - and I believe I have the horseshoe bracket (seat stay)  that is required. I haven't listed these things yet. Not sure about pricing. Will get this squared away shortly. (I'm snowed under!)

Well after 2 years and almost 10k miles I have switched from an 800 to a 1500.  The main reason for the switch was I want to do more 2-up riding and the 800 wasn't up to the task for long distance 2-up rides.  Found a nice 2001 with about 15k miles on it and picked it up last weekend and my wife is super pumped about the new Drifter!  Wasn't sure how long it was going to take to sell my 800 with 46k miles but it only last 18 hours on Craigslist.  It was a sad day yesterday as I watched Tessie being ridin' off down the road.  They say you never forget your first..LOL

Now the task at had is to pickup some chrome risers (switching from blacked to chrome is a culture shock) and finding a 2-up seat.  Found a Corbin online for a fair price but it doesn't have any brackets so I am not sure if I should jump on it and then locate the brackets or wait for a complete seat to show up online.

Now I need to spend a few hours reading all of the 1500 posts I have been ignoring for the last couple of years to get up to speed.
