- June 24, 2017, 19:40:31 PMA cover looks good but IMO the 99-2000 look more old school without one. Another major negative is what a pain to flush/bleed out your clutch fluid. On my 2001 and up, you have to remove the left side floor board and foot shifters and other parts just to get to the clutch bleeder.
I now also have a 2000 1500 and Love the looks of the engine and just bleed my clutch fluid with no issues and no cover. Looks more retro and old school.

I just ordered a used one and I think it (the one I ordered) comes with the spacers. I'll let you know how it goes. I plan on painting it the flat silver/aluminum to match the right side cover. Thanks for the idea.According to the pictures the only thing missing is some threaded spacers part 92151 in the pdf below. The ad said it would fit but we will see.
BTW that was $50 US and it will cost another $40 to ship.

If you have the engineering skills, which I know you do, time and money are the only limitations.To DC, Yeah I love that bike to. So much so I bought a set of Buco bags and was going to install them but couldn't figure out how to paint them since I went with a 2 tone paint job. In many ways that bike is the Holy Grail of Drifters. Every time I look at that bike I see something new. Who was the original owner, anyone know? Dave somebody? If I had the funds I would try and make that bike from an 800. But the dual exhaust would be the main obstacle. With a single exhaust it would cause the bags to sit too high and wouldn't look right. But with the 800's you could pull the bags in tight since there is no shocks on the outside.

Did you get the cover and all the parts needed for the install for the $50? ThanksI ordered one off of Fleabay for $50. If anyone is interested I will post updates , otherwise I won't bother.

- May 14, 2017, 18:07:11 PMHas anyone with the 99 - 2000 Drifter 1500 installed one of these left engine cover guards? Was it difficult to intall, are the bolts hard to come by? I was thinking of getting one and powder coating it black to match the 2000 Drifter. Any thoughts? It states that it fits a 2000 Drifter.
