The paddy nubs in the middle of the seat remind me of 70/80s metric seats, but that thing does look awesome!
good job!

 cochise: my sincere apologies to you and your mental state, but you should have know by now that letting GB and D1 into a conversation at any point and things can go wrong really fast.

I was wondering if you could post some pictures of your bike in your gallery, because this one picture has me looking and thinking you have some unique mods done that are interesting, but I would like to see them better. For example how did you attach the Defender bars to the fender stays?

Now once mikeakafred sees all the chrome he will be checking in with you or trying to steal some of it.

Nanook, the rear guard is my attempt at the original Defender bumper that the Indians had. Its hollow aluminum tubing , I made up a jig to bend it, it turned out nice and I was going to make another  and the local supplier dried up.

Read the posts, looked over at my bike, got a visual image of what I just read, and went and wiped the seat with Lysol.

Now why in the world would you be trying to picture two men on poor Cochise bike  :o It would have to be a really tiny gal , to be able to fit on that seat with me . The way Troll has been shredding off the lbs , I'm sure he'd be able to get a gal on the back with him , however  ;)

Hmmmmmm. not going to touch that one at all, BUT, I'm down 75 lbs as of this morning...bike is faster!

I really love those chummy seat ! Heathers leathers is even selling a chummy pan for the drifter. But comfortwise they didn't have a great reputation for riding two up but they sure look good and are quite versatile as a solo seat!

Outstanding work! I also really love the rear fender guard did you fabricate that yourself or is it from another bike?

Thanks for the compliments. GB, its not as big as the Drifter two up, but that was the standard back in the day. Its about 22" long, so when you put your skinny gal on the back you rode up near the gas tank.

That is sharp, Cochise.  It looks great.  I like that grab rail.  So that's big enough for 2-up?  Looks more like a love seat than a sofa.  I like it.
