What Seedman Said.
BUT, in my opinion, the Drifter is a unique machine because of its wonderful (and timeless) design and reliable engine.
And these are more than valueable reasons for grabbin' her and keepin' it with you, aside of the poorness of parts and accessories.
Just my 2 cents...

there are a lot of parts interchangeable with the same year/cc Vulcan line up, however there are some very unique oem parts associated with both Drifter models....primarily seats and fenders, due to the skirted front fenders and the floating rear fenders that are attached to the swingarms.  Also, saddlebag mounts are uncommon and difficult to come by if needed and not already on the bike.  Other than those, many Vulcan parts from corresponding model years and engine sizes will work.  Anything to add to that Chief?

Hey Everyone,
I was thinking to acquire a Drifter, but wonder if it's challenging to find parts? Are there any other concerns or difficulties associated with Drifter ownership to be aware of before jumping in?
Thanks
