   in the past 4 years I have only found 2 800 visors and one is the one on my bike the other was for sale at The Biker reunion and the dude selling it wanted both my lower appendages, and GB's first born....so I passed on it.....

Can someone now find a alternative model for the 800?  If anyone has an 800 visor for sale PM me.....Thanks

Glad to see they fit so well, I ordered one a week ago, it should be arriving about the time I get back to Canada.

Ain't that a great fit, OD.   I sent my black one back, but my chrome version is supposed to be on the way here.   Can't wait.

Where's your pictures, BTW?

Just figured out how to post them...look now.

This morning I received the visor in the mail, this thing fits like it was made for my '99 1500 Drifter and looks great! It's made of a heavy metal and black powder coated. Kaw part # K53020-373B

Old Drifter:  I ordered the 900 visor in black to try it on my 800 - too big.  But it was a perfect fit on the speedo for the 1500 (mine is a R model).   I sent the black one back (wouldn't fit the 800) and they are exchanging it for a chrome one - should fit the same.

I sent twiggcyles a question over the weekend asking for the measurements. They posted new pics in the ad with a ruler so you can see the actual measurements. It's 5-3/4" by 3" deep. Looks like a winner for the Drifter, my '99 anyway. Be ordering mine tonite. Thanks greenbarn!

GB I agree with you and you should wait and buy a new black one when one shows up.  To help prepare you I would be willing to buy your old chrome one thats needs redone  ;D

Thanks for being so thoughtful, Trall.... ;D

I do have a chrome visor for the 800 -- came on the bike when I bought it.  I could powder coat it black - but I'd rather buy a black one if I can find a good fit.

Incidentally, the visor for the 800 measures 4.75" across the tips of the visor.  The one for the 900 is much larger 5.75" across the tips.

Also good looking out on the tip to tip measurements.  Just in case i see one somewhere now I know if it would fit or not.....

They do look really nice in black. They also look best on a 99......just saying.........

greenbarn thanks, I just couldn't figure out how you knew that it fit when it was in the mail. I just wanted to be sure about the fit before I fork out $40+ bucks for one. I would need the black one for the '99. Thanks again.

Ratman: Yes, I have the new chrome 900 classic visor coming in the mail - I'm hoping it will fit on the 1500 and look great.

How do you know if it "fits really nicely"?

I'm still looking....    ON the 900 / 1500 visor --  I returned the black one I had tried for the 800 , but I liked it so much on the 1500, I had the place exchange it for a chrome one I'll put on the 1500.  Made sense instead of paying 20% restocking fee (and having nothing), I just paid an extra $5 for the chrome version, and they said they'd ship for free...   Twigg Cycles on Ebay - great seller.
