Nice (and cheap...) catch, Seedman!  8)
But I guess you'll need to wear sunglasses to ride her, in a sunny day...  :o ;D

Depending upon what kind of shape the paint is actually, I my keep it as is and take it to some bike shows.....I am sure it will require some detailed cleaning up, but it is an unusual paint scheme....even the frame looks like it has been powder coated to match...and there is a ton of chrome on it....chrome forks, saddlebag mounts, shifter, grips, etc....someone went off the deep end with chroming it...even I don't go that far..LOL

like Ratman, I decided I need another one, too...so I bought a 2001 1500 on ebay auction that has a bad bevel gear bearing....total cost including shipping to my location is $1,370.00.  I have already ordered the new ORS bearing (which I bought from a real bearing vender...not one of the oem crap Koyo bearings...) for $10 wholesale.  Total parts will be around $30.  Looking at the bike pics, someone invested a lot of time and money in paint and chrome.....not crazy about the paint, but for the low $ I spent, I can live with it...although I am not quite sure what I will do with it when it's fixed....I really like my 800... :)

Yeah, don't know what I was thinking there...glad to keep my girl for the foreseeable future.  Fact is, this time of year nobody can sell anything unless they'll take half off, which I ain't doin'  Plus I just remembered how much I love the look of my "Indian-Drifter"  ;D

Nah, I'm always on CL.  It's how I got the Drifter (and every other bike I've owned in the past decade;-)

HA!! I was just joshin' ya.

I was merely trying to keep you from selling your Drifter... :)

It happens this time of year to me that I always want to get a new project or a new toy and I was on Craigslist and almost traded my Drifter for some guys Yamaha Royal Star V4. The Yamaha is a beautiful bike and it's equal in value to my bike but what was I thinking? Furthermore I just changed the oil and filter on my bike just renewed the tabs for a year and I've got the bike exactly the way I want it what idiot would trade it at this point? Anyway I came to my senses and said no not this time. So you guys are still stuck with me haha

Step away from the craigslist. You will truly thank us someday.

The Drifter is one of the best bikes in the galaxy.
