Me too, I've got a 800, but I've never had such an issue like that.
And it's 20 years now, since I got her.
Must be something bad with that suspension. All I can suggest you, is to check the spring force: remove the left side cover and check the spring adjusting bolt that is on the shock absorber.
The scale goes from #1 to #7, where the lowest number means the weakest tension.
Try to put it on #7 and go ride her: if the issue is still alive, then I guess you'll have to change the whole suspension...

Hi

My bike is a Kawasaki Drifter VN800, the shock absorber is allowing too much travel as the rear mudguard hitting the frame. - has anyone had this problem before, if so what is the solution please?
Thanks
Phil
