CDNRatMan, Thanks for the info. on the seat and sissy bar. Thanks for the lead on the brackets and bags. I sent a message to see if they are still available. If they are and the price is right I'll be in business.

Question about the sissybar. I haven't been able to find out what company made the sissy bar. Do you have any idea of the make? If not, how do you go about figuring that out so I can find a luggage rack that will fit?

Troll, thanks for the info. on the seat being Corbin. About parts for the 800 Classic fitting on our bike. How can you tell if they will fit or not. I heard you have to be careful. Not all the 800 Classic parts fit on the Drifter, especially engine guards.

 Looks like the seat that I sent to Nanook, and it was a Corbin. The sissy bar is not stock either. But on that note you can  find lots of add on luggage racks for after market sissy bars. I just saw saddle bag brackets someplace in the past day or so, will keep looking for them again.

Looks like a Corbin. Really expensive seat.  Sorry to have to say it, but finding parts that will bolt on is getting harder all the time. On the bright side, a lot of the stuff that fits an 800 classic will fit yours. Craig's list and eBay are probably going to be your best sources, unless you are a good fabricator.  There is a Facebook group for Drifter parts:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/237611892923263/

We are new to the Drifter forum. My wife just bought a Drifter and would like saddlebags, and a luggage rack for it. It doesn't have supports. I think the seat is stock as well as the sissy bar. I took the seat off and saw a sticker that lead me to believe it is stock but not 100% sure. I have included a couple of pictures of her bike to look at. Can anyone give us advise or help us find parts for her bike?
