- August 25, 2014, 17:57:31 PM Well my first question would be do you like the person that will be riding there?
That will be the most uncomfortable ride I can imagine, that fender is in constant motion, you need to have someone ride your 800 for you and for you to follow it and watch the fender move, I never understood when people said my tail light, and fender were in constant motion till one day I swapped bikes with my Brother in Law, now I understand. Anyone who has followed a 800 will understand.
Now to your question, That is the first 800 I have seen with a P-pad, I am sure the fender would require substantial strengthening to carry a person, Washersor springs would be my answer for that part, and as for the ride....lol.....on a smooth road and no bumps perhaps....but other wise hang on.....

As the 800 Drifter rear is a swing arm and the rear fender is only attached by a few bolts, would the fender require some strengethening with some fender struts?
If it works would it be best to bolt directly to fender with rubber washers or use a P-Pad with suction cups? What sort of ride would a pillion passenger have?
Any thoughts and words of wisdom welcome.
