Drifter 800 Only / Re: Routing Fuel lines

OK. After a bit more searching , I can now identify the "fuel" line in question. It would be the "fuel breather hose" that connects to the front upper part of tank near the cap(but on the underside). My question is where do I attach the other end? Or does it just hang down at the bottom of the bike in order to drain any fluids it collects?
Thank you again for any and all opinions!

Drifter 800 Only / Routing Fuel lines
October 18, 2020, 16:07:34 PM

Hello All!
I've taken apart my bike for painting and now am reassembling. I promise pictures when done! BUT...I cannot figure out how to reattach and route some of the smaller line. I think it might be the line from the top/front part of the tank, maybe a vent? I took pictures of most other things on disassembly, but not enough, and not of this.
Appreciate any and all replies.
Thanks- Boyscout

 Thanks for the interest in the seat! It does have the hole for the backrest (under the corbin tag)I just got around to posting it on *bay today. I thought that was the easiest way to go with payments and such. I'm not so good at the online stuff but have sold a few things through *bay.- Boyscout

Thanks for that advice! I'll definitely give it a try.

Drifter 800 Only / Advice on fitment of Corbin seat
August 07, 2020, 16:36:02 PM

Hey folks! Got the new two up seat for my 800 a few weeks ago. Corbin did a beautiful job on this seat. Set me back but....I needed to be able to give my kids and cousins the occasional ride down the road.

My problem is that the mounting holes do not line up exactly on one side. They are about half off if you know what I mean. My mind is thinking on this one to see if maybe I could shave down the rubber mounting grommets to give me some room. It doesn't look like I can move it forward anymore as the seat is right tight up against the tank (like it should be). I have removed the tank bib so that is not a problem. I feel like I might need to drill out the mounting holes and that would mean also the material around that hole, that plastic or whatever compound that is. And I really do not want to go that route. Any ideas will be gratefully accepted.

I have the two bolts attached on one side and took it for a ride around the block. It would be solid for me but if I push on the passenger section, it is not stable and being that their design is cantilevered, I really need that other side to be solid.

Tires arrived this week also so off come the fenders, tires to the shop and then a paint job, I really want a dark red bike. The seat will look good then. Of course this means that I have a Corbin solo seat for sale, and possibly a nice set of DUNN cavalry saddle bags as well.

Yeah, i really like the feel of the Corbin single seat. Plenty of room for my big butt! That being said i am on the lookut for a 2 up seat or perhaps even an option to get a mount for a pinion seat. I want to give the kids and my wife a ride.

I'm up in DePere. And I'll get some pics as soon as I get a chance. I believe these bikes "like" having their picture taken!
