Title: Needing a 2 up badly
Post by: rawbz36 on April 24, 2017, 14:46:08 PM
Hey guys,

Looking for a 2 up seat so I can take the wife out on a nice ride this summer. Looking for any tips. I know of the Corbin seat, but was wondering if there are any others out there that people are using? Thanks

I own a 800, so I can't really help ya out.
But if you look at my gallery over this Forum, you'll see my bike with the OEM 2up seat on.
Or just do a research over the internet, and you'll sure find pics about a 1500 with the set up you'd like to see.

Thats perfect! Thank you for the information. Do you know if anyone besides Corbin makes an aftermarket 2 up seat? Corbin is charging an arm and a leg lol.

Mmmmh, for what I do remember, there aren't at the moment other makers besides Corbin.
But maybe, some guru of this Forum will join this topic and help ya. Just wait and see...

  Only can think of Corbin who makes 2 up seats. Or find a used old stock seat and snatch it up.....

Here are pics of all the seats we know about.  I think Corbin and American Dream are the only ones who still make two-ups for the Drifter.

REMEMBER... you will need the underseat hardware for any two up you get... horseshoe bracket etc.

You also need rear footpegs and a rear right (I think it's right - need to go look) footpeg bracket (if your Drifter didn't come with them)

Hey Guys, I'm a new 1500 drifter owner and I want to put a solo seat on her. Can any of you suggest a good place to get one and what is necessary to install 1.  Thanks, Jason

If you already have a two up seat installed, you don't need to anything, just remove stuff..  The horseshoe bracket comes off, and the triangular brackets on the bottom of the 2-up seat need to be swapped over to the solo seat.

Where to find a solo seat?  That's a tougher question.
