Yes, she uses them that way and told me they are very comfortable (so now I have to find some new excuse, in order to be able to put on my winter plan's solo seat... 
)
I have taken care to protect the bars from scratches, gluing a rubber black gasket on the side where feet are resting (in the posted pic there is a brown tape on, that just yesterday I covered with the gasket).

Those are Ted's Design rear bars and you can find them right here on this Forum: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/TedDresserbars.html
Ted is a true professional seller and the transaction went as smooth as glass.
Btw, I've bought mine on ebay ($99,00 plus shipping

Where did you find them?Thanx Darth W., but even though it could be a simply solution (You're referring to the solo seat, right?), I think I wouldn't like the look it could give to my bike: too cheap
I was thinkin' about makin' some homemade stuff, something not too flashy and more in line with the two sidebars.
Btw, here's the picture of my Baby.

- September 21, 2013, 08:08:37 AMThanks to the group, I got rid of the "wuh, wuh" noise, so took the time to finally install a set of K5000-227 bags with Osprey/Traveleer 1/4" steel brackets.

- September 20, 2013, 12:53:40 PMMy winter plan is to put a sprung single seat on, but leaving me the possibility to put back on the oem 2up seat (my wife loves to ride wide me 
).
The matter is: how to do it without removing the bracket, as far as my Drifter's got two new rear bars that bolt on it and I'd like to let them on (btw, pic is comin' soon...).
I'm thinkin' about mountin' the OEM single seat brackets (just to bolt the rear bars) and add some kind of stuff like Darth Wraith's mod, in order to keep the two brackets joint togheter, but I don't know how much light it has to get from the rear fender.
Any suggestion from all of you would be really appreciated... 
Thanx

I put back the 2-seat, I had a passenger...

- September 20, 2013, 07:58:44 AMIt's made from raw steel, actually the opening was not enough for the fender up movements ( we have bad roads, it was necessary to install progressive springs in front), so I cut more from it. I think I could simplify the thing, to leave only the spring support, but the initial plan was for a very strong "basement"... )

- September 20, 2013, 05:47:19 AMThanx Darth Wraith, for your time.
Hope not to bore you, but I'd like to know what kind of bracket is the big black one I see attached to the back of the two springs: oem or homemade? Since that my Baby has got a two up seat, I've never seen that kind of bracket...
