My '01 has a white speedo with red/orange back lighting. The first 2 years have cable driven speedos and then they went electronic.
"01 and up has all the chrome, and a 5 gal fuel tank

Can anybody tell me off the top of their head (or point me to a link) which models/years the white - faced speedo came on the Drifters?  Is it available as an aftermarket, for those that it didn't come stock on??

I'm a potential new bike owner, looking for a Drifter.  I've looked at several different bikes, and fell in love with the Drifter for probably some of the same reasons you all like them. I haven't seen hardly ANY around, so almost all of my looking has been on Craigslist and ebay.  One of the things I really liked about the Drifter is the white speedo I see on some 99's and 2000's (I think).  Can't find enough good pics or info to tell for sure when and which (800 vs 1500) it was on.

I suppose, though, a certain speedo is NOT a good "main reason" to pick a certain model or year.  Are there any other features or major differences (besides condition, mods, price, miles, etc) that I should be inherently looking towards (or staying away from) any particular years, or for that matter either the 800 vs. 1500?
Thanks in advance.
