I have some gorgeous Travel Horse brown leather saddle bags on my 800. Is it possible to use a Corbin 2 up seat (or stock) and STILL have my saddle bags mounted? Someone told me that is an incompatible situation. Forgive my experience..... Thanks for comments and advice.
DUDE that's a SWEET pony you have there , brother 8) How are the bracket's to the bags attached , to the two seat holes on the frame ??
Thanks. It is a sweet ride! I laid in the weeds for the last two years prowling and waiting to pounce on a nice 800....she is fantastic! But I need to close the loop by getting my wife on the back and having her love it too! Lol

I hear you .... the saying goes if momma isn't happy no one is :o
Not sure how the bags are mounted. It really depends upon the mounting hardware you have for the bags.
Yea- what they said....
most of the 800 brackets -that I have seen- mount on the same 2 holes that the seat mounts to. If that is the case with yours - should work w/ a Corbin 2-up.
Some mounts use a third bolt down lower - exhaust mount on the right side, and a new hole has to be drilled on the left. Like the Scootworks mounts (attached pic) or the ones I made for mine.
Sort of sounds like if there is a will, there is a way. Once I find a seat....I hope to get it ironed out. Thanks for the guidance :)
Nice air filter cover! Where does it come from? any close up picture?
FYI....a little update. Ground down the inside of the Corbin seat in a pattern to match the mounting brackets of my bags....worked like a charm! See attached pic.
Very nice looking bike, even with all that chrome...lol......like the rear fender stays a touch of class......and the back rest is really nice.
Dcardova , now that seat looks SWEET 8) If you don't mind what's the price tag on something like this ?
It's Corbin's seat for the Drifter 800. Comes ready to mount. Studs, conches, fringe, and the diamond stitch pattern with the 2014 Vintage Indian leather color. Was $960. I see a nice two up Corbin in black on EBay right now....looks like few bids!
Looks great brother , that's for sure . Thing is $ 960 WOW that's a 1/3 of what I paid for my bike .... before all the mods I did .... LOL ;D ;)
Very nice looking bike!
That looks great Dcardova! So that's the Indian Leather color - I was looking at that. It's much nicer than the little square patch on their website makes it look!! Corbin will re-cover and repair one of their seats for 1/2 of the price of a new seat. I'm considering sending the one on my 800 back in over the winter - was looking at the same color you got. That's SWEET.

Not cheap! But I guess we all choose our mods, right?

Wow man nice ride. I got no info on the bags but was wondering I'm new to drifters and motorcycles in general I love the 80s you have on your bike and was wondering what size they are and where did you get the cables necessary for them I have been looking for cables and can't locate anywhere I'm not quite sure of each cable that I need I would like to put 20" on my bike if you could point me in the right direction and let me know what cables I need I know there's breaks trottle clutch etc it would be greatly appreciated thank you so much
