thanks for the info guys.  I'm leaning to believe that they are different from the photos I've seen of the two.  also, when I read "fitment", it doesn't list both bikes.

The Classic 800 bars go much cheaper as well, I've seen them as low as $49 U.S. dollars.

I dunno if Drifters and Classics crashbars are interchangeable.
I've bought this one for ma-deuce: http://www.empmotorparts.nl/en/crash-bars/crash-bars-top-line-35-mm/crash-bars-top-line-35-mm-black/14-11-0355-bl-crash-bar-top-line-black-coated
And I can assure ya that really it's a well made crashbar and it is worth the money I've spent.

All sorts of suppliers say that their products fit Drifters on the assumption that they are the same as Classics.. However, in several areas they are not, and the assumption is false.
The Classic has foot-pegs rather than boards and without offering up the bars it's difficult to say, but there is no reason to suppose that they would fit.
The U-shackle arrangement for the top mounting looks a bit tacky to my eye, but ...
I prefer the Motorsloop crash-bars that are available either directly or via ebay. They are a good bunch to deal with. These crash-bars fit the "C" VN800s with no probem, but occasionally a slight fettle is needed fitting them to the "E" model due to the change in the position of the steering lock.

This page seems to suggest all VN800s are the same:

maybe someone could help.  I was  considering an engine guard for my Drifter 800  unfortunately the availability for Drifter guards are limited.   Engine guards for the Vulcan classic 800 are more available....

Are the engine guards interchangeable between the Vulcan Classic 800 and The Drifter 800?

thanks in advance for any help.
