Yep, the seating position of the Drifter makes lowers pretty important. There are several sources and you can make your own... I made a set which worked very nicely. I subsequently gave up some of the effectiveness and adapted a set of harley chrome lowers.

note: we now sell the National Cycle stuff through our store (autoandmotorcycle.com) - we are in the process of listing the stuff right now.

You can get the materials to build your own from any local glass shop and hardware store.

I bought a set of soft lowers from a guy in Canada for like $50. They made an enormous difference. My problem was more of my inside leg muscles getting really painful after about 300 miles at a stretch, but it cut some of the turbulence around the windshield, too.  I got a set of fork lowers from a nomad, and modded them to fit, too That also helped, but the soft lowers made the biggest difference.

O.K. so I put on a cobra engine guard this winter and riding these past few times I have noticed a lot of wind and turbulence coming from below my windscreen up into my face. It wants to blow my glasses and cap off at times and I really need to do something about it or remove crash bar. Do I need a set of lowers on the forks or does anyone have any other ideas on how to correct this?
