Welcome Phil! Nice looking ride.

  I too like the looks of the rear fender and that is why I did not put bags on the bike, but I went with a travel trunk with some advice and help from Troll on how to mount it properly. I do have a set of over the seat bags for long trips.
I have a few spare parts if you are looking, but no seats...lol.

Its a great forum people have been so helpfull in finding accessories getting a solo seat for Christmas and took the bags off as I really love the look of the basic bike.. I think I am hooked.. Was at a shop the other day and looking at Harley Fatboys and Victories and was saying I preferred the look of the Drifter

Welcome aboard and nice ride . Like Troll stated , " we are drifter fanatics " so any help on ideas please give a shout as this place is full of knowledge .

[Phil]

Thanks everyone for the welcome.. This place is great I have gotten a lot of great ideas for the bike.. It's funny but I just loved the look of the drifter and old Indian bikes and I thought I was the only one it's cool too see there are a bunch of us

CD the whitewalls sound like a great idea..

Welcome Phil.

[pcarrell]

Welcome to the forum Phil!  Looks like a sweet ride, and the price can't be beat!

[Troll]

Nice ride...Welcome to the nut ward. We're all crazy about Drifters!

[greenbarn]

welcome to the forum, Phil.  Nice ride ya got there.

[Cotton Mouth]

Welcome to the forum Phil.  There are a lot of good folks on here, and wealth of information regarding Drifters. If you haven't noticed already, you are more likely to see the elusive jackalope than see another Drifter on the road here in the southwest, or anywhere for that matter.  Glad you bought that 2005,  was a smoking deal you got there.

[CDNRatMan]

   Awesome you bet them dudes to the punch...lol...looks really nice and clean, just needs white wall tires to make her look like a million bucks....JMHO...lol

[Phil]

Thanks for the welcome just updated with a couple pics hope I did it right not really a net guy

[CDNRatMan]

  Welcome Phil....nice to see another 800 owner, but you best watch some of them big 1500 riders will bully you into posting pictures so if you have any get them on really quick, some really talented people here who will help you with any questions and issues.

I recently relocated to Vegas and because of the weather decided to ride again and I have not been on a bike for close to 15 years. I just bought a 2005 Drifter 800 with a little over 4700 miles for $3500. I have always loved the looks of the bike and with aftermarket pipes it sounds great I am really looking forward to spending some time on it..
