Title: Passenger seat?
Post by: bigjoep89 on July 17, 2011, 07:34:46 AM
  Hello everyone!
     Just bought my Drifter and love it! I am a old Harley guy and guess what? Yes I am selling the Harley and going to enjoy the Drifter!!! This Drifter rides so much better! What I need to know is what is the best way to get a seat so my wife can ride with me? She don,t ride alot so I need something that is easy to swap back to the solo. HELP!!!
                                                                       Thanks, Joe

I tried the oem setup - at great expense - but greatly prefer the Corbin. I've used Corbin seats on all my bikes for a couple of decades. Have one on the drifter and the goldwing now.


Since the oem stuff is not available from Kaw any longer, and with other seat makers no producing drifter stuff, the only place for a new double seat is Corbin. But you can still find the oem stuff through various sales sites - like eBay.


Look at the web site for a list of the stuff you need to move from single seat to double seat... http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/solo2dbl.html (http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/solo2dbl.html)

I think Mr. Cycles is FOS, unless they have NOS sitting around. I have seen many dealers list stuff they can't really get. Give it a shot and let us know.

Agree with cheif on this one.  A month ago i ordered the left control assy and a few other pieces from mrcycles.  Talked to them before order and all was in stock and "id have it within 3 days."  Took 2 weeks because the assy was backordered.  They just "thought" that it was in stock, didnt check.....

Still will probably order random crap from them because of price, but i wont expect it fast
