what kind of vibration is perfectly normal in Drifter?

My drifter vibrates a little that it feels in the mirrors and saddle as well as a little in the tank as well, is it normal?

How long have you had the bike? Has the vibration changed over time? Did the change occur after you added/removed/repaired/maintained the bike? How old are your tires? Have you or someone else replaced the pipes with hardmounted pipes?

All bikes, especially v-twins have some vibration. Vibration can be caused by numerous things. There is really no way we can tell if your bike's vibration is "normal" or not. Heavy vibration is not normal for the Drifter, but it does vibrate, especially at idle or when cold. IF it is a "little" felt vibration it is probably not a problem, but that is just a guess.

Cheers.

Hard do determine what's 'normal' but yes they do vibrate. I find that mine vibrates right up until about 90~100 KM/hr (in 5th gear) at which point it smooths out considerably.
