I'm more curious about what real Indian owners think about dressing their bikes up as Drifters.

I took mine to Sturgis a couple summers ago during the event. I ran into many guys on Polaris Indians and the response from every one of them was positive...I do have the word tribute on the tank tho.

The badges are printed vinyl. I use a company called Stricker-up out of Canada. They are UV coated and the adhesive is semi-perminet so I can replace them if I want.  The current ones have been on the bike for three years.

could others purchase those same badges from that company, and would they ship to WA state? ;D Link to website?  thanks.

I must say Jmbo I really like the tank badges, What are they made of?

She's a real beauty in all respects.  Love the color scheme.  How long can you endure that seat--perfect retro look but is it good for a few hours in the saddle?  (you could always get an airhawk pad for long rides)

Once I got it all set up it was very comfortable. The only reason I went back to the stock two up was was for my bride's ride.

Here are a couple photos of the air cleaner and lowered.  The air cleaner is stock with a rare cast aluminum cover with a vulcan logo.  The cover is almost 1/2" thick.

The lowers are 1/4" Lexan  with rubber tubing over chrome "U" bolts to hold them on. (photo taken before I painted the bike)

I give no grief and many look very well done with Indian items.  I simply enjoy spending hours looking at Drifters and how each one has done theirs.  I also really like the look of the new Scout, some are really retro done.

  Very nice and a couple of questions? But first the title of your picture should be "My Bike and I', the language police will nail you.

So can we get a better picture of your lowers and how you mounted them, and the second air cleaner and how it mounts......Thanks.....
