I pulled the trigger and bought the 1500 set-up to see if theres a way to add a bracket or something but No way.

This 1500 uses a factory frame mount set-up and 800 frame difference makes it not possible to this set-up in a secure way. The drifter seller is about 4 hours away so I got them next day by Fed Ex.......I had to try since these items are so hard to find and come by.......

Iam prob going to keep the bags for the scootwork's 800 brackets below and prob sell the 1500 chrome rack and all brackets and pieces needed for a 1500 Drifter to add there own saddle bags to if you know someone looking for a solo seat 1500 saddle bag set-up.  Have them pm me, Ill sell them if the price is right.......If you look at the picture of the 1500 solo seat saddlebag set up it would be all needed pieces minus the saddle bags but includes the brackets on the saddlebags that would be needed for new saddlebags.....

I found brackets for  800 solo seat set-up at Scootworks in NC.

Dave from scootworks said their making a batch of 10 sets for the 800 Drifter.  They do backorders on this item until they have more then 5 customers to make production for a batch of 10.   They sell for $240 a set with free shipping.  When I talked to him today they had 8 of 10 pre-sold and I made the 9th.  So for now one more set left.  He said the 10 in production would be done and shipped out in January.   So if anyone is thinking about a set they have one left and from what it sounds there is a long wait after this batch of 10 until they have 5 or so pre-order to do another production set.

There are attachment systems designed for the 800. I would work from the attachment up rather than the bags down.

Here is a saddle bag setup for a solo seat setup made for the 1500.

Here are my Drifter 800 questions?

1st- Are these complete setups available from any vendor as you see in picture?

2nd- I see they sell the Wompus rack alone for 235 plus shipping and the pictured rack only is chrome and original for the 1500.
What's the current Market value of what's in the picture? Comes with 1500 chrome solo seat rack, two custom made leather saddle bags, frame support for saddle bags to rack. The saddle bags alone were custom made for 600 range the seller said and provided maker site. Everything is excellent condition.

3rd and most important- Has anyone here bought a 1500 rack for their 800 and made the rack mount? Since these have four mounting holes, two each end bracket just like the Wompus rack, and mount to the 1500 onto the frame near where the solo seat bracket mounts to the frame.

IDK but would think if I bought two pieces of steel to make a small bracket that mounts directly where the 800 solo seat bolts go to the solo seat bracket and frame with longer bolts then that covers the strength of frame mount and then have this steel bracket extend backwards just enough to mount to the 1500 rack or a Wompus rack and the 800 Drifter could have the same set-up made for the 1500.

Your Thoughts??

I have the opportunity to buy the saddlebag / rack set-up seen in pic.

Thanks Anthony (Trall)
