I agree that taking off the identity loses its appeal... I am a big fan of bobber style bikes though... I bought a drifter salvaged but the little resources I had made go with a kind of bobbed look I have the original fenders that I need to work on hopefully I can bring it back to its original look

I saw one guy that posted on another website, maybe a year ago, and he bobbed a Drifter.  Looked like a regular VN1500, bobbed.  Shame to take a limited production bike and make it no different  then the zillions of other vulcans.

I don't know, I have never seen one on here or the web.

Besides Taking the front fender off, and reducing the rear fender would take away a lot of the identity of the Drifter and what gives it its appeal. (at least to me)

While the swing arm arrangement would make for an interesting design on a bobber, I just don't think (or can't believe) that someone who went out of their way to FIND a Drifter, would DISLIKE their Drifter enough to start cutting on it..

But there are all kinds of people out there and they do STRANGE things to their toys..

Start bobbing a Drifter and you are left with an ordinary Kawasaki VN1500..
