Hi,

Absolutely love the tour you have scheduled.  My Wife and I did it the first time in 1980.

My place is about 35 miles south of Buena Vista on US HWY 285.  There is always a hot pool game and a cold drink in my man cave.  Give me a call if you get bored 719 221 3248.

Duce, I'm thinking the reverse, actually I made up my mind, now that I have my 1500 99 Drifter I must have an 800. Also I am with our Florida Valkyrie peeps and we just landed tonight in Buena Vista, spending two weeks doing BV - Aspen - Ouray - Durango - Crested Butte and then back to BV.  Could not bring Drifter as it is getting painted and the Valkyrie has plenty of storage, I see you live out here?

Get the '99, if you want a more retro look you'll love it. The '99 and '00 have less chrome (blacked out), the fuel tank holds a bit less fuel. The performance is the same.

Can't say about performance, but the R model is quite different in many ways from the J model

I have my eye on a '99 Drifter 1500.  Were there many changes in the 1500 from '99 through '05?  Are parts generally interchangeable from one year 1500 to another?  Is there much performance difference or any from year to year?
