Wish me Luck!!!

Believe it or not, having the rear shifter at floorboard level is where Kawasaki originally installed it. I have mine up  in the back, about 1 1/2" like I had it on my TourGlide. If I slide my boot back against it, it touches just at the top of the heel cap on the boot.

Thx guys!!! I am so busy this week after work I'm not sure when I can wash it and get pics grrr lol

Thx for he heads up ont the hyper charger CAV!!

Yes congratulations on your purchase of a drifter. Dressing the bike is the way to make it your own. It's amazing to see 40 drifters at drift-ins and no two look the same.  Some thing you have to fabricate, because they didn't make a lot of after market stuff for the drifter. The back rst to my two up seat was for a 650 shadow.  Don't put a hyper charger on your ride. Anneoakley and I can tell you horror stories about ours.

Enjoy your drifter

The bike is mine!!!! I am officially a drifter rider now!!!! Yes!!!! The sellers were nice but he never rode the bike. He still had a full tank of gas in it from last fall. I thought it would be heavier but it's not. The fuel injection will take some getting used to though, I try to be very smooth but it is so responsive and can get slightly jerky.

I was backing out of the drive way yesterday morning and now have a huge hole in my leg because the owner didn't use the head shifter and adjusted it to be level with the floor boards.....OUCH never hit the corner of that, trust me lol hubby will need to fix that.

There are 3 cracks in the windshield and 2 have been riveted to keep from cracking more I guess, it looks terrible but that will have to wait to be fixed till hubby gets a new windshield for his and I get a passenger backrest - an engine guard and highway pegs.

Pics will come as soon as I wash it.

Riding a Drifter is a real treat......enjoy!  Looks like a great bike at a very fair price!

And when you pick it up......

I also think it is a great bike at great price. Don't let it get away. The fun is dressing it YOUR way.

THX 49Reo...I have been checking that every time I look at a bike that is missing the accessories I need. It's a great resource.

[49Reo]

Good luck, and have fun adding bike bling!  Keep an eye on the "for sale" section of this forum; never know what you will find....

this is the link to the bike KsDrifter
I have spoke with a few dealers and they all said BUY IT!

I agree that Add-ons are a lot of fun Chief... only if I can find them though lol the sissy bar and pad for the passenger looks to be the most difficult to get my hands on...

[chief]

Add-ons are half the fun! Good luck to you. Ask the guy if he/she's a VDR registered member.

Good luck! Remember, if you don't post pics, it didn't happen

After a year I have finally got to the point that I have sold my Honda and I am looking for a Bike. I have an appointment tomorrow to go look at a Drifter 1500 with only 6,000 miles on it...I am so excited. But it doesn't have an engine guard, highway pegs backrest, or luggage rest. But for the price I wont complain. This will also be the first time I have ridden one also, I am jumping out of my skin with excitement.
