- June 23, 2025, 17:19:11 PMwebsite says they aren't available yet.....I like the tilt idea....but man, the set up is FUGLY! Don't think that is going to be an option either...
I'm thinking that a price of $5500 is fair considering what the bike is and what actually comes with it....I will post it here as well as on the normal selling sites as soon as I get a full set of pics done in its current configuration (Brown/Tan setup right now)
I have really appreciated all the information and topics discussed here on the forum...I'll continue to keep my account open after I sell the bike so I can keep up on everything Drifter related in the future.

Yeah, my left side took the brunt of the fall....left knee and hip are torn up pretty bad...harder to recover at my age.(almost 63). Plus my wife is against me getting back on it not being 100%.....

Not sure whether any of their models can be adapted to a drifter but they look cool.

Ownin' ma-deuce since 1999, I can understand how you feel for no longer being able to ride your beautiful scoot...
I hope you get well soon!

How about turning your Drifter into a trike?

- June 21, 2025, 18:21:46 PMWell...It looks like I am going to have to sell my customized 1500 Drifter. I recently had a bad fall off of a ladder and damaged my left knee and hip. I've been told by my surgeon that my 2-wheel riding days are now behind me. So, I'm here to try and get an idea of where I should price my bike.....list of features are as follows:
1600 cc engine (only 3,000 miles on it, way more torque than the stock 1500)
Big Thunder air cleaner kit.
Custom 2-tone cream and Navajo red paint.
Full batwing fairing with mechless marine stereo and 6x9 speakers.
2 full color schemes with quick release saddlebags (black studded, brown/tan studded, tan Fire & Steel 2-up seat with custom backrest)
Custom chrome frame mounted rear racks (1-light duty, 1 heavy duty)
Rack-mounted backrest for both racks (1 pad in black and 1 in tan)
Extra set of custom painted wheels from a Vulcan 88 that are fitted for the Drifter (match the red paint - 19" front)
Dual V&H Longshots with Nomad exhaust cross-over includes 3 different tip sets.
Passenger floorboards from Denny Berg himself
Lindby Multibar with matching tan or black studded chaps
Bike runs excellent and handles great....wish I could continue to ride, but I would have to switch to a 3-wheeler (spyder maybe)
So, I am trying to get an idea of what I should list it for here in the PNW....any input would be greatly appreciated.
Best to all
