I just happened to stumble onto this part of the forum, and am sooooooo relieved. I am personally looking for a drifter to purchase. An 800

i looked on their website, but couldnt find one for the drifter. i had found another website that makes custom ones that i was going to order from, but i wasnt sure which size to get. what are the measurements of the one you have?

merry Christmas ya'll

are they held on with the velcro stuff?

rosslato · 12-26-2008

i lost my 1st bib by using 2 pieces of velcro, 1 in the front n 1 in the back so on my next bib i used the screw up front n velcro on the back. theres a lil pocket under the front of the bib that the screw catches on to, a slip fit. they have some kind of material under the leather of the bib that doesn't scratch yer fender. they come in very handy when road tripping.

Fender Bibs for Kawasaki - Chilhowee Motorcycle Leather

Ordered mine in 2006.....back then you didn't have to measure a length, just indicate it was for an 800 Drifter. Got curious so I went into the garage to measure...25 inches. Goes from the license plate mount to way under the seat.
Merry day after Christmas, everyone.
