Pretty easy to do. I love the modular design of the bike. You need to remove the (looks like a F&S "Corbin") seat and, if it has them, transfer the two triangular brackets to the solo...Then remove the horseshoe...4 bolts. They are the same 4 bolts that hold the saddle bag rails on, so unless you have some help, I'd take the bags off the rails first...There are 2 aluminum spacers between the rails and the frame, so you can either leave the brackets off completely, or put the bags and rails back on...If you don't have the spacers, ten some 10mm flat washers can be used to make up the difference.

So I have this seat . . . Not 100% sure what brand/model it is, as I can't find it for sale online. I'm interested in buying a solo seat to use when it is just me riding without my wife, as I love the clean look of the Drifter without this massive 2-up seat and saddlebags. How much of a pain in the ass is it to take off the saddlebag mounts and 2-up seat, and switch to the solo seat? Is it something I could do in 10 min or so whenever my wife wanted to go for a ride with me? Is there any extra hardware that I will need to find to be able to put a solo seat on?

Sorry for all the questions . . . I'm still trying to get acquainted with motorcycle parts/accessories in general.

This is probably my one and only gripe with the Drifter . . . the lack of seat compatibility/options. I don't like that my 2-up seat and saddlebags are hiding that beautiful back fender all the time!
