Noodles, welcome to the forum.  Max file size to attach a pic is 2048 kb, I read.  So maybe your I-device can resize it that small?  I don't know, I don't have an apple so can't help you on how to do it.

Welcome, again.

Very rare indeed,  I just picked up a 2001 model here in Brisbane,  only had it for a few days and loving it.   Still trying to work out how many are around.  I see from kawasaki that only 50 were brought into australia.  49 in 1999 and I in 2000.   So not sure where the 2001 model fits in.   I noticed only one other for sale in Australia last week.

G,day Bully70,It seems  getting fellow Aussie owners to reply is very rare, great to here of another owner....

Sorry, I forgot all about it. Let me take some photos of what I have. Sorry for forgetting.

Hi Washbrook,

Have acquired a topbox from a Nomad Vulcan owner, for PC tuition provided (starting to do some handyman work, need some luggage capacity).

Do you still have the rear luggage carrier and back rest you mentioned in May ? You were going to supply photos ?

:)

It is all packed up in my shed. I will get it down on the weekend and take some photos.

I actually have a rear luggage carrier and back rest that I took of my drifter gathering dust, I have no intention of using it again.

Any pics? I would be definitely interested...

I love my swingin' bike!

Washbrook

Thanks for the update. Sorry for delay responding, been a busy month at work. Good to hear the bike arrived even though it took so long. I actually have a rear luggage carrier and back rest that I took of my drifter gathering dust, I have no intention of using it again. If I had know I could hve saved you some effort, for a small price of course. Oh well nect time.

Paul, whlist I do not know Leanne, it is Always bad when someone falls. My drifter has been going well with no issues at all. Recently got a Roadmaster so the wife can sit up back, we are selling her bike.

Hi Wash,

Shitfight in April, fitting new steering head races & bearings (160,000). Mate coming tomorrow to grind a special tool out of a 36mm socket, so I can check the correct torque for the locknut on the steering stem - feels like it falls out of corners - but couldn't feel any slop when we tried to rock the forks.

Had 3 weeks in sunny QLD with my Rockhampton brother - floods overrated - but airport unusable on way up.

Trying to get some leather fringe(in OZ) to hang off the back of the solo seat.

Got some Tan pinstripe tape from o/s to redo the left side of tank, but it is a different shade to what I have now.

Replaced the V&H retainer screws on the mufflers, because I wore them almost flat on the corners.

Going to remove the wave baffles I made for the exhaust, and wrap some packing around them - they rattle in the muffler on goat tracks -(i.e. 1/2 the NSW roads).

Seen some of your vids - personally I get a little dizzy watching them, two half-trip ones at normal speeds would be even better. I need to log some of those roads for when I head down to Mexico( ;)) next summer.

How is the Gooseberry ghost going?

P.S. Leanne in QLD, had a bad pogo/wallow/whoop-de-doo crash near Gympie on her Drifter - she is recovering with inserted pins, gravel rash & physio. No loss of body parts or permanent physical reminders.

Cheers, P
