Also when I ordered mine from Osprey on Friday the staff named David was well informed with those brackets and the Drifters. He said they can be mounted to the Drifter Corbin seats with some shims. Call him as well for details but Sand Storm has his perfectly mounted to his Corbin. Sounded like he still had some for both the 800 and 1500 Drifter as of last Friday.I just made the Osprey brackets work with the U shape metal mod for the front frame mounting hole and spacers for the rear, It works great. This took less than 30 mins from beginning to end, don't get stuck waiting for Scootwork and spending that much more money.
I have the factory solo and double seat and David said it's a simple bolt on for both my factory seats. I ordered a set Friday for $99 free shipping. BTW I never got my Scootworks brackets and Iam still waiting for them since Dec. 2015 and since just finding out Osprey still has some sets in stock and are high quality for less then half the price you can't go wrong. Osprey sells a lot of Indian stuff.
Drifter2001 nice review and Sand Storm thanks again for the nics and details..........

- March 01, 2016, 20:41:25 PMQuote from: greenbarn on February 29, 2016, 20:18:36 PMI actually have a set of Osprey mounts already. The problem is that they're not compatible with the Corbin two-up saddle that I installed. Like an idiot, I forgot to check before ordering the new bags (also from Osprey). As far as I can tell, the mounts from Scootworks are my only option.Don't despair Crash, there are other ways if this doesn't work out. Somebody needs to jump in and make a few 800 brackets. 49, jump in there, pal, and get some knocked out....

I'm really not getting my hopes up. I'm debating how long I want to wait before trying to get my money back. Unfortunately that would mean that my awesome new saddlebags would never get mounted.

New saddlebags that need the mounts. With such a definitive response from Dave I don't see how how he would be lying otherwise he would of been open ended with a timeline. I think he's a Honest guy. Time will tell........I got a similar response. Dave said that they'd be *hopefully* shipping the next day. I'm really not getting my hopes up.

Tnx,"
So it sounding like were close to the finish line. I hope.

- February 24, 2016, 18:30:16 PMI wish you luck with this. I was hearing the same thing last year at this time, after ordering the previous August. I have yet to see the mounts. This spring I requested that they substitute a sprocket / chain set for the mounts that I paid for. The agreed quite happily. However, I have yet to see these items.

.........He mentioned that the month of December their slammed working 7 days a week from all the Xmas orders and things slow down in Jan. The set-up seems pretty cool for a solo saddlebag option so it should be worth the wait. That and these Drifter parts are getting hard to find so it nice that they kept their occasional production going with these compared to discontinuing them all together like some places do when numbers of sales slow down.
If anyone already has a set installed on their 800, post a review of them..Thanks.

- December 10, 2015, 06:25:54 AMI just found the install and review video on Youtube of the scootworks 800 solo saddle bag brackets.
Looks simple to install and low profile when you want to remove main brackets.
Also CrshOverride on the Youtube comment section back in 2014 some had the same waiting a long time for them issue as you mentioned. 
but they will come one day. Especially now that they only do paid pre-orders until they have a majority sold for a production of 10. I was the 9 paid order so the powder coated paint should be baking in the oven soon.

- December 08, 2015, 22:12:55 PMQuote from: Trall on December 08, 2015, 21:09:58 PMNot to burst you bubble, but I was number 7 out of that set. I placed my order a month ago and was told that they'd ship in two weeks. I just emailed them a couple of days ago to which they responded that "there was an issue with powder-coating and that they'd be shipping immediately". Now I find out that they told you January.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.
I'll be interested to see if I get the set before next riding season starts. I've read about these issues with Scootworks all over the place but was sincerely hoping that they were the exception rather than the rule.
