make a few more posts then after your pictures get approved the first time you should be good to go.

- April 20, 2016, 16:27:21 PMI found where it said the pics are not approved yet. Yeah, the Drifter is a sweet bike. Just ordered a highway bar for the front, and I am at work now fabricating saddlebag brackets. The little lady says this is "our" bike and that's fine with me! A few little comfort items and I could ride it anywhere. Love the handling! Love the looks I get as people see it passing by!

I really like my 800 and am super happy with it. if you like your wife you could do a few small mods for her and she would have the near perfect bike.......

I've been riding it lately as I'm waiting on some parts to be delivered for my bike, and I'm enjoying it! Just can't get over how light it is. My Trumpet weighs a ton!

- April 20, 2016, 09:39:50 AMI took my seat to a local lad and had him customize the seat the way I wanted it and now it is really comfortable. I too found the stock seat to be really wide and so a little sculpting and some gel and memory foam really made a difference. Also if she is going to do long distances you might want to do the sprocket swap and that made a really nice difference and such an inexpensive mod.

I did need to lower the Drifter a little for her but the seat is a little wide and she's not comfortable with her feet not flat on the ground. I'm gonna shave a little of the sides of the seat and that should do it. I'd really like to see her ride the Drifter on the long hauls. She's just real attached to that old Shadow!

perhaps because you been babied for to long, 7 to 8 hours a day in the saddle is not a big deal, perhaps if you did the sprocket swap for her it would be that much nicer for her if you really cared about her well being.......

- April 20, 2016, 00:25:56 AMGreenbarn, we definitely should hook and and ride. Yeah, I bought this 800 for the little lady, but I've kinda been hogging it lately. Nice handling bike, light as a feather! Fun to ride, but the ol' ass gets sore pretty quick. Cant beat the comfort and power of the Triumph. 1700cc's, and cushy as hell! Working on saddlebag brackets for the Drifter now, should be done soon. will be for the solo seat. I'll post pics when I'm done.

Yea, but he's riding a Triumph.... His wife is on the 800.... I just figured with all the attention the Drifter is bound to get, he'll want another one, either a 1500 or another 800...
