I could rub it out but it still won't fix it completely. I'm considering just covering the spots with a "Drifter" decal in gold lettering. That bag will be removed. The side covers need repainted and I will sandblast, prime and repaint the highway bar. Antifreeze, brake and clutch fluids need changed. Tires, battery, brakes and fork oil have been changed within last 2 years. Has fresh oil and filter. (Royal Purple and Kawi filter) IMO the pipes look and sound good and I agree that the seat is attractive. Thanks to all for the kind words.

Sometimes I think mine is the only Drifter with original Kawasaki badges - I think they're kinda klassy!

- March 14, 2018, 13:03:55 PMReally nice! I like blacked Drifters... 
But what a strange place to put that barrel... Keep in mind that everything inside it will be shaken a lot, while ridin'.

Already has everything needed installed...windshield, lowers, 2 up set. I agree with the old man..that 2 up Corbin is comfortable.
should be an easy fix on that fender light. You are going to really enjoy that bike this summer....

- March 14, 2018, 08:39:28 AMVery nice...looks a lot like my '99. I have the same seat and a solo seat. The Corbin 2-ups are very comfortable and look great too. Congrats and best of luck with it. I know you'll really enjoy your Drifter!

- March 14, 2018, 06:04:30 AMYES!!! Easy once one learns how! Hope you all like the photo(s, lol). The PO purchased this bike in '09 and took good care of it. I hauled it back to Muncie from Cincinnati on 3/3/18. Very nice couple that rode the bike all over the country. And yes, they conquered the Dragon!(I will leave the badge for it on the lower front fenders). Have a solo seat, unscripted war bonnet tank decals and genuine Kawasaki service manual already. The LED headlamp and spare 25W lamps for the light bar are on their way. The Indian fender lamp doesn't function, no power to it. Will have to check the wiring/connectors for it. I'll post pix again after the transformation. I'll be keeping the 2up Corbin seat. Praying for warm sunny days!
