Gosh I always love looking at Drifter Pictures!! Mine is pretty plain in comparison to some but I love her all the same!!

Nice bike! There is nothing plain about one of these big-fendered beautys!! Each is, IMO, a work of art.

It looks very good! It would be great if the next time you happen to have the seat off if you would post a picture showing how the fringe attaches.

Acyually, I just used some E6000 glue ( http://www.walmart.com/ip/Amazing-E-6000-Craft-Glue-2-oz/17808713 ) to glue it on the seat, tour pack, and floorboards. The fringe is deer hide, so it's quite porous and the glue holds it quite well. It's been on since '09 and it's still holding strong. The mud skirts are held on by gluing (same E6000 glue) the fringe to some industrial velcro, and then gluing the other side of the velcro to the inside of the fenders.

...Bucko, you have a good eye! It is in deed a stock solo seat with some fringe I added. I used the same fringe material on that as I did the floorboard skirts and fender skirts. ....

Taken at our old place a couple of years ago. Need to get some new pics of it....

CDNRatMan · July 26, 2014, 08:49:48 AM

I had a little left over door trim from the fenders and tank so used on the lower part of the screen, I did see one the other day were it was completely done in the chrome colour one, did not like it.....

pcarrell · July 26, 2014, 04:15:08 AM

.....all except for the trim color!

CDNRatMan · July 25, 2014, 19:09:54 PM

just a history lesson, that sign is older then yourself. I'll let you do the studying yourself. But thanks for the compliment, I am already working on the very short list I'll be doing this winter.
did you notice that we have the same wind screen?

pcarrell · July 25, 2014, 18:04:47 PM

gdrudd13, that's hysterical!

Ratman, those winter mods really made a big difference, huh? Looks great, but I couldn't help noticing in the first pic that there seems to be an emphasis on the whole "North" thing!

CDNRatMan · July 25, 2014, 16:27:04 PM

some for up here just because......

gdrudd13 · July 25, 2014, 16:17:54 PM

Not exactly a glamour shot, but my bike was "vandalized" by some of my coworkers last week. It has stayed on a surprising long time for just being scotch tape. Just thought I'd share. I laughed at least.

pcarrell · July 25, 2014, 12:04:58 PM

OK, saddlebags are back on for now. I have to ride to southern Indiana tomorrow to be a judge in a show truck contest, so I need to have some storage capacity.

pcarrell · July 25, 2014, 10:16:51 AM

With sepia and a border.......

.....and some shots from this morning........

pcarrell · July 25, 2014, 10:09:58 AM

The sepia is real nice in that pic Troll. Sometimes it can be overdone, but that has a nice balance to it.

Troll · July 25, 2014, 08:36:33 AM

Here's one I took the other day with a very old camera....

pcarrell · July 25, 2014, 07:49:29 AM

Nice vintage feel to that pic Zig!

Bucko, you have a good eye! It is in deed a stock solo seat with some fringe I added. I used the same fringe material on that as I did the floorboard skirts and fender skirts. I used it on my tour pack too, to hide some of the gap. Here's a pic with the tour pack, but hopefully this look will be old hat soon. I'm planning a few mods to completely change the touring setup looks.

Bucko · July 24, 2014, 23:27:39 PM

I like the look of your seat fringe. That's looks like a stock solo seat with the fringe added, or did it come that way?

DC · July 24, 2014, 21:37:33 PM

All very nice everyone. Keep them pics coming.

zig · July 24, 2014, 20:35:17 PM

Not really a "Glamour" shot, but I like this one

greenbarn · July 24, 2014, 19:50:10 PM

Great looking bikes, guys... GD, I'd like to see those luggage rack pictures! I'm looking for ideas.

I can't wait to get the 1500 finished and out of the shop, to get some pics. She'll be sporting some new clothes, new shoes, AND quite a bit of new jewelry too!!!
