I have a sidecar on both my Harleys (65 abd 85) but you are driving them even with the easy steer. Haven't rode a trike. Will do this summer and make a decision to go trike or rebuild the motor on the 85. When the wife and granddaughter go with, it take more bike. The drifter is just right for me to cruise around on. Really do not go on long rides anymore. Used to have lots of riding buds, most are dead now. Never waited to find someone to ride with, just went. Don't care what someone rides,just ride. Been to sturgis a couple times, but do not have to ride that far to get hasseled by the police! Loved the heads, and spearfish canyon. Tim

You got that right!  Yeah, we are considering a trike or a sidecar add-on. The latter is cheaper by far.

I really do not ride that aggressive anymore, however i can still scrape the floorboards if I bend it over too far. Works better for my artificial hips. Hung the bike from my overhead hoists and removed the wheels from the bottom. Worked good. Will keep the two up seat to have when I sell the bike when I move to a trike.  It is hard to find things for a drifter. Tim

If you ride half-way aggressively you WILL scrap the floorboards!!

Corbin is a firm seat. I've used them for many, many years. They are not the "arm-chair" monkey-butt inducing seats which come from the bike makers. We routinely do very long trips with no soreness, no hot-spots, no rashes. They do take some getting used to, however.

If you want to get rid of it let me know. We buy them for resale, so we try to buy at a wholesale price!!
Sounds like you are set!

I ordered a set from scooterworks. Lowered the floorboards 1 and one half inches and ordered a cruise control. Serviced and new tires, ready to go. Got the two up seat with the bike (corbin) and it is awlfull  !!!! Most uncomfortable seat ever. Looks nice.   Took it off right away. Back rest was nice, though.Tim

Physically should work with longer stud and spacer, don't know about safety and looks however.

Hey fellas, can I just put a 3 inch spacer under my handlebar riser and use a longer bolt? I do not want to change any cables or wires. Thanks  Tim
