- May 14, 2013, 07:43:29 AMNot sure if THL is trying not to put the rear fender guard w/bumpers back on or just leave the bumpers off but I just posted pics of the mods done on my bike over the winter in the Drifter Pictures. I like a clean look so had a set of internal brackets made and mounted on the inside of the rear fender and removed the rear fender guard assembly. Had a new simple plate holder assembly made to hold new directionals and left the brake light intact. Don't know if that will help or not?
Take care,
Pete

)
This cover was introduced with the chrome version of the Drifter.

- May 13, 2013, 18:28:11 PMThat's what's holding the rear fender on...I suppose you could make some kind of internal framework, but remember how easy it is to remove the fender the way it is now.

- May 13, 2013, 18:20:59 PMOk let's try this, it's black on here however, mine was chrome. It's the piece that the rear turn signals attach to and the bracket that piece is mounted to as well.

- May 13, 2013, 16:51:27 PMI'm not sure what your refering to here either,THL?If your refering to the "bumper"that the rear tail lights also atatch to,I've seen plenty of Drifters without it.Gives that plain big fender look.If you Google Drifter images you'll see a few right off the bat without this.Olive of course the I've bike,has round tail light,right to the fender with smaller blinkers fixed to each side.
