The brackets he was refering to were those little triangular brackets on the bottom of yout current seat. They unbolt, so you can swap them. Don't lose them though! You can't buy them seperately. You have to buy the whole seat assembly from Ma Kawi just to get those two silly little brackets, so treat them like gold. If need be, you could make some from angle steel. I have a friend that mad some from an old bed frame. It's a lot of work though!
As for the Corbin seat, I don't have one, so I'm not much help there.
Oh, and welcome to the forum! Got a pic of that scoot?

- December 20, 2009, 08:14:51 AMHi guys, I'm new to the forum and I have a 2000 Drifter 800. I've owned it for about 6 months now and I absolutely love the bike. As you know the 2000 model didn't come with a solo seat. A while back I checked on what my options are with the Kawasaki dealership here in town and the guy told me that I could use a solo seat from any later model Drifter but I would have to buy certain "brackets" as well to make it fit my 2000 model. Have any of you guys done this before and do you know what brackets he's talking about? Also, I am looking into buying a Corbin solo seat and I was wondering if those brackets are needed as well if I would buy this seat? I just need to know if I do need brackets if I would buy any kind of solo seat. Can anybody please give me some advice on this?
Thanks!
