I need a little help, please.
I can't see any of the pictures in the Super Chief section. What did I do wrong?

I keep getting this:

Do I need special permission to see those photos?

If they are pictures of naked Drifters, I swear, I turned 18.. more than 32 years ago now. ;D

Thank you

just remember that when you loosen the Stem head nut, you will need to take the weight of the bike off of the front wheel...keeps it from binding and getting off center.  So use a jack to lift the front of the bike up just enough to get the weight off the wheel...

Thank you!

I'll give it a try once the replacement part arrives.

Remove handle bars and then the mounts.  You can leave the wire looms hanging and then loosen and remove top of the triple tree.  The cover will then just slide off.  Put everything back together in reverse.  Not really very hard.  Cover your tank with a couple of heavy towels so you can lay the handle bars down on it without scratching....

Grazie mittico68,

Sure, I'll post some pics as soon as I'm done with some of the small fixes I mentioned.
A new set of brake/clutch levers has just arrived. Other bits and pieces should arrive over the next few days.

Do you (or anyone else) have any advice on the best way to replace this dented upper fork cover?

Benvenuto!
I'm an italian proud owner of a 1999 Drifter 800, and I live in Pescara (Abruzzo).
Post some pics of your beauty, asap...

Hi there,

Just wanted to say hi from Italy.

I literally just got myself a 2001 Drifter 1500 (black) with 17,400 miles on the clock - yes, miles not Kms, as one of the previous owners imported this old lady from the UK.

The bike is pretty much stock, with just some minor cosmetic things to fix: chipped RH tank badge (please see my other post in the 1500 section), a dented upped fork cover (a replacement is on its way from the US), the front brake lever is slightly bent (already ordered a new set of levers), plus some minor scratches on the exhaust fishtail.

I've just started riding again after a long break.
I used to ride a Yamaha Wild Star 1600, or Road Star for our our friends from North America.

Cheers
