"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!" -famous quotation...probably from a rock star ::)

 ;) It is much better to burn out than to rust out so let's all mount our rides and burn out....

Thanks 49. I may need to trike my 800 someday. I have RA and may not be able to handle two wheels one of these days. Not that I'm that good at it yet!  :-\

Somewhere I read that the only difference between the Drifter 1500 and the Classic 1500 was the fenders and swingarm; how the brake caliper mounts, etc, and the exhaust. Due to a  rapidly deteriorating spine and major joint deterioration (hips knees, shoulders, etc),{NOT what this topic is about!} I did some research into triking my !500 drifter. Apparently there some major differences there; a trike kit for a Classic would NOT work on a Drifter; this from several trike manufactures and trike kit installers. So, I decided to trike my 02 Harley Softail Classic instead; great move, had it done in Kamloops B.C. by a young fellow there, who owns and operates SideEffects, and a custom fab shop called Metal Morphasis. Great job, did some fantastic work to modify an exhaust system to work with the reverse kit. I settled for a Frankenstein Trike kit, which works only on belt drive and chain drive(the reason for this topic; it apparently can be done on the Drifter 800).
I will add some pics to show what it looks like, hopefully this info will help someone needing or wanting to trike their 800 Drifter.
