I ordered and received the RR peg mount bracket for the classic but I believe I will need more than just the bracket. In looking attjeparts matrix I will need the rubber bushing and maybe some other items to make all this work.
The rubber bushing is needed, but I thought it came with the peg. Don't think you need anything else. Keep us advised. Cheers.

If you look at the attached photos, both drifters however mine [the Gooseberry colour] has the Drifter V&H whereas the other has classic V&H pipes [ignore the end pieces] with a home made attachment lieu of the Classic foot peg.

Some will have 800's and some will not have used V&H pipes, like me.
All I can tell you is there have been many, many Drifters with Longshots installed. I have not heard a problem with them.
Cheers.
Per my post earlier showing both model images.

- October 01, 2018, 22:27:43 PMQuote from: chief on September 30, 2018, 18:43:47 PMI am surprised as well to the lack of response.Looking at the V&H site I see the design differences you are talking about. I think these are year differences, not necessarily bike model differences. Look at some other bikes with replacement pipes and see if the lines are similar. I am surprised, with the number of folks who changed to Longshots, that someone with them hasn't responded.
I also own a Victory Motorcycle and am a member of the VOG forum as well, I guess im spoiled due to the fact that forum is pretty active and will usually get many replies to any question asked.
Either there is just not that many active members here or due to the fact that the Drifter has been discontinued for about 14 years now.

- September 20, 2018, 19:34:44 PMQuote from: chief on September 20, 2018, 10:47:45 AMOk, got all that straight and parts on order. Secondly, I am interested I the Vance&Hines Long Shots preferably the set for the Vulcan Classic.Yes, with the rr peg mount swap you can use pipes designed for the 1500 Classic.
1500 Classic footpeg bracket (P/N 35011-1922).
It's that simple, buy pipes intended for the 1500 Classic, buy the RR Classic footpeg bracket and mount your new pipes.
Question is I've noticed the set for the Vulcan classic have a different bend for the forward pipe near the floorboard than the drifter set. Is this due to a clearance issue?
Can anyone who has bolted on a Vulcan Classic version of the Long Shots to their drifter 1500 please chime in and let me know that all works so I can place my order.
