I did a little googling, and found a picture of a '99 1500 with a white speedo face. Keep in mind that the '99 and 2000 have mechanical speedos and '01 and up 1500s have electronic, while the 800s all have mechanical speedos. I don't know for sure, but the 800s don't have a fuel gauge, and the 1500s always did....just thinking wiring might become an issue

Well spring is coming, and I've sold some stuff to raise funds to buy a Drifter.  Believe it or not, after thinking about it all winter, posting here, and reading other posts, I still can't decide on a 800 or 1500.  One minute I want the trouble free shaft drive and FI, the next minute the smaller/easier handling/ better MPG (maybe?)/ some would say more indian-like bike sounds better.  It will probably come down to actually finding one I like close enough to drive to.

One thing that I really like on the 1500s is the white-faced analog speedo.  I have never seen one on an 800.  Does anyone know if this white-face can be changed over on the 800?  Is this something to entertain?  It may seem like an insignificant thing, but I really think the white speedo dial is a really cool look.  I'd hate to come down to that for my final decision, but if I can't decide any other way....

Thanks for the input.....
