Welcome aboard, coope 254. Got pics?

Welcome to the Forum, coope254!  Like they said, others here have put on hard bags and will chime in.

Just remembered.  Any pics of your ride?      

[greenbarn]

Pictures?  Somebody mention pictures?  we like pictures.

I think a few folks have put nomad hard bags on a drifter.  That's the thought I have had.

  There are a few around with hard bags and they do look good, not my area so I'll let one of the experts explain it all to you. Welcome to the forum

Before you get deluged with requests these people are really picture fanatics and love to look at other people's rides, just a word to the wise....

Hello all,

I am new to this forum, and hoping I am doing all this right.  So to the point,  I just recently bought an 02 Drifter 800.  I plan on making it my own, and one of my first steps is wanting to set up hard saddlebags on it.  I have heard that this can be an issue because of the way they are set up.  I am hoping some of yall have figured a way around this.

Thanks

Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the work that went into it.

I'm going to cut out a skull template and rattle can some skulls on my Drifter, that'll set it apart. I could buy two Drifters without skulls for that price.

Yea, right.  that's why I'm looking for wrecked stuff on the salvage auctions.....

That IS an incredible paintjob; just not for me....at least not on a Drifter....

Weellll,  several reasons.

1) $6000 starting price

2) I don't think the missus would appreciate the scull theme.

3) did I mention the price?

[CDNRatMan]

  mayhap you should purchase that ride for your missus and then she would have her own Drifter to ride.......She would look really cool on it.....

[greenbarn]

But did you see the 3-D sculls in the purple stripe.  That's some skillful painting....

[dakuhosu]

That skull is priceless.

[greenbarn]

Nothing a $5.00 rattle-can couldn't fix, for short-term at least

Yea, except at $6000 starting bid, you better believe you're paying for that custom paint job,

$4000 for the drifter
$2000 for the custom paint job
$12 for 3 rattle cans

It's been on CL before.

[greenbarn]

Or...  Maybe not....

  Boy oh boy now I can see GB riding that machine, might be his dream bike in the offing......

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this one seems to be in your face.....

[greenbarn]

I saw that one a couple of days ago, whilst looking for a 1500.  I would think that one would be "unique" enough to be hard to sell.  That one is pretty wild.  How many different themes can one paint-job contain? 

[Troll]

Maybe this is a little off the normal topic for here, but I just saw this and HAD to share...
