- September 08, 2010, 11:07:20 AMI used the U shaped stock 2up seat bar after i removed it to put on the solo seat, and then mounted ot to the stock black saddlebag supports and then attached a Harley rear sear to it....the sadlebag supports are supporting the passenger seat. I believe the set up is no different than any other rear seat set up, I am usuing the saddlebag supports as other bikes use fender stuts since the drifter is strutless(although the drifter saddlebag supports mount like other bike fender struts, attached to the frame) my concern is the strength of the supports, weight wise.

- September 08, 2010, 10:20:34 AMI have a 1500 drifter, I have a corbin 2up seat and stock 2up, my passengers do not like either. I have a corbin solo seat on now, and I used the rear bar that you remove for the solo and attached to the stock saddlebag supports and mad a rear seat for a rider. Are the saddle bag supports the same as regular fender struts used when a rear seat pad is mouned on the fender(like a stock Vulcan,harley, etc.)?. Can the supports since they are bolted to the frame under the driver seat(like normal fender struts) support the weight of a passenger. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
