Honestly, I think they are wrong on the fitment. If you decide to give it a shot, let us know how it goes. The pics are only examples according to them, so perhaps the drifter version is built differently. You should be prepared to return it however.

When this design was first introduced, the bike mags complained about it, but now that Harley has the "rocker" model softail out, it's ok and innovative.

- May 07, 2011, 17:59:35 PMIm interested in buying a new seat for my 1999 1500 drifter. I am leaning towards the predator seat. All the sites I have been to said that the seat is a match for my bike. I have yet to see any pics of a drifter with this seat on. If anyone has any pics of a predator seat on a 1999 drifter please let me know. Also, any suggestions for a new seat.
