I bought my Drifter back in January from a guy that posted on here (joe28). When I got it the solo seat was on it.

I like the way it looked but it doesn't lend itself to hauling my wife on the back. In the mean time I took the bike apart and had some pin striping done.


I also cut the bottom of the windshield off and made some new mounting brackets to even out the gap around the headlight.

It's getting closer to the way I want it:

But the passenger problem still wasn't solved.

I decided to try a frilled Mustang seat cover:

I guess it works, but I still like the looks of the solo seat better. I think the old style luggage rack with a removable passenger pad may be the way to go. Has anyone made a combination rack / seat that bolts on to the existing seat bolts?

I'm fortunate to have access to a machine shop with a waterjet cutter as well as a CNC press/brake. It allows me to make some decent stuff but I'm not real quick at it; I have to rely on technology to make up for may general lack of talent.
