- February 10, 2017, 15:44:59 PMsince the saddlebag mount topic is old, I thought I would add to this thread....I have ordered from my fabricator 2 sets each of the 800 model and 1500 model saddlebag mounts I sell here. they will be ready in about 2 weeks....I will post on the classifieds along with the rear rack/mount combo. I also list them on ebay (the last 4 sets sold there). One set of the 1500 is spoken for by a new member...Dave at Osprey is still sending inquiries for mounts over to me (THANK YOU, DAVE) and I recommend that they join the forum. I have only been ordering a couple at a time, as I have to pay for them when they are done and then wait for them to sell....anyway, there will be some available shortly...
Thank you to all the members here that have purchased them in the past....

- February 03, 2017, 16:40:27 PMthanks....I think there are a few of us that have a need for it....I don't keep mine on all the time, but it will be nice to have when I go on longer trips..if you can strap it down, the rack will definitely take the weight....now I just have to figure out how to attach an adjustable backrest to it...

- January 17, 2017, 15:11:48 PMyeah...that's why I dyed it when it came in....I had it on the bike while still brown....thought about dark brown saddlebags....but decided it would be a whole lot cheaper just to re-dye it black. the leather on the seat is quite porous....so it took in the dye really well....did two coats and then some black leather polish...can't tell now that it was ever another color....
One drawback, however, is that the leather does scuff easily....it is really soft and has a nice grain, but it is easy to mark accidentally if you are careless....

OR, I like that seat but it would be better in black and he had none I asked him via an email. I am going to be heading out to see my seat guy once my ankle is better.

Mr Ratman, I didn't know that you're gonna make a bobberized bike of your Drifter...

- January 17, 2017, 07:44:44 AMPERFECT! Although it might be a tad bit uncomfortable to use your rolling work seat......
here is the one I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-Harley-Davidson-Motorcycle-Chopper-Solo-Seat-Brown-Vinyl-17-W-x-16-L-/172227828914?hash=item2819941cb2
I dyed it black, since the brown really didn't go with anything else on the my bike..$5.00 bottle of black leather dye at Walmart....The seat itself is quite comfortable...not very much padding, but the shape is good for pressure points....
I think that we have started to get off-topic now in this thread.....LOL

- January 16, 2017, 20:40:10 PMRight now I have a bobber seat that seems too small for what I wanted, so going to check out a larger seat later this week. Will do nothing definite till I have the seat I really want.
