800/1500 Drifter

**Spok** · 01-12-2006

Thought it was time we had a topic thread for the boys on the Drifters.

Welcome guys, sorry we didn't do this earlier.

Great Idea Spok. I love my drifter and I am looking for a riding buddy in Los Angeles with one so that I dont have to ride with the HD guys.

Drifter owners seem to be a little more independent than other owners.

Some call us loners, but we know that we share a rare taste in a beautiful bike.

Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't ignore those bold fenders and sexy lines.

Drifters stand tall.

when i go riding with the harley guys, my drifter is the loudest. im thinking about pulling the baffles to see how loud it really is. i really love this bike. the balance i so awesome. it feels so much lighter then my 600cc honda, yet it is alot heavier. i know the 99s are limited production - mine is number 186 of 1999 btw - are the newer models the same way? did it come with the cert. of ownership and the little drifter key ring and video tape?

hey, i just found this really cool jacket on ebay. maybe one of ya'll could get it. i like the design on the back of it. maybe i can find a shop that makes custom patches so i could get one for my jacket. ya'll know of any online laces like that? maybe a group order?

I just got my 2006 Drifter 800 in December and all I got was a thank you. It did not come with any sort of certificate nor key ring nor video. Now I feel jipped.

sweet. i love that black and red. what kinda seat is that.
speaking of seats, ya'll know where i could pick up a solo seat fairly cheap? id like a corbin, but they are pretty expensive.

GODesigns · 01-20-2006

Ditto on the color comment from zuzuman... I dig that red with the black. I wish mine had come with a color option. My buddy who paints cars told me to leave it in silver and black. He is a big Raiders fan and thinks it is a Raider Bike. Anyway, Great looking ride. I dig that seat, too!

samuel · 01-20-2006

nice looking ride.

Okie · 01-22-2006

Very nice looking rides!

Here a pic of my 2001 Drifter 1500. I've added a homemade sissybar since the picture was taken.

**Spok** · 01-23-2006
