I finally managed to get the single seat on.
Now it looks right ;D
I've also changed the handlebar from apehanger to a reproduction of a 1950 one from kromewerks.
Looks right and good!!! 8) 8) 8)
Looks great! Sweet paint job too.
awesome paint job!
The fringe. I'm not a motorcycle guy and alot of pics I see the bikes have fringe on the saddles/bars/bags/floor boards. Why? Purpose?
The wood town fenders, how did they do that?
Speaking of saddles, is there an after market sprung saddle direct replacement for the 800?

The fringe is just an "accessorie" ;D no real purpose really other than show.
The wood effect is an airbrush job...and it was a skilled airbrusher!!!!
As for the aftermarket sprung saddle there is only the double seat or the single seat as a direct replacement.
For a sprung saddle you have to adapt like I did.
Fringe is the extra "bling" that goes with the shiny chrome ;D Depending on how it is applied, it can give each bike it's own individual look. I love fringe and chrome! ;D ;D (Your paint job is pretty cool too!)
Funkydragon...... how's the new seat for comfort? Looks nice. Mike in TX
I have seen ads on e-Bay for a sprung seat for the Drifters. Advertised as direct replacements with all the hardware.

seat comfort is a lot better than expected, and better than the stock seat!!! Still have to do a proper ride with it because I'm still
looking for the exact spot for it. Still too high in the picture for example
