Title: HELP... saddle bag bracket.
Post by: J.D. Beard II on June 15, 2016, 16:21:38 PM
Need some help fellow Drifterz!
I took a gamble and bought a set of saddle bag brackets and loops from someone and was told they were to my Drifter 800, but no matter what i do i cant get them to line up. Are they wrong or am i just that bad at seeing where they go.

Drifter is all factory 2004 800, solo seat.

The company Osprey makes saddlebag brackets for the 800 for around 100 with shipping.  I have Osprey on my 800 and they work perfect.  There's a Drifter member here that was thinking of making some for sale for the 800 but you will need to use the search to find him and ask if he has any. 

The struts you have being for a 1500 you might list those in the classified area and try and recoup your money to put towards a 800 set.  The 1500 set usually has the two struts that you have in pictures and to small spacers that fit on the end to mount to the 1500 seat set-up, I don't see those in the picture but would be needed for a 1500 owner to use.
