I was a little bit upset with the blue paint when I got it. I wanted the Deep Turquoise Green that they made with the 1500 drifter. I didn't know at the time I could have gone to the site "colorite" and matched exactly what I wanted so I ended up with the lighter shade of blue.
WWW's are a must on a 800 Drifter because they make it look that much cooler. Mr Clean Magic eraser to remove the blue once you get them but wait till after they are on the rims to clean them so the grease hand prints for the shop don't show up, and for daily cleaning it keeps the tires looking really good.
Rad cover ...chrome I'll bet....lol....
Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my bike!

Now all I need are the white wall tires. My tires are still good so maybe next year. Just added a radiator cover and painted it blue to match the bike. The bike actually looks better in person. The colors are blue and cream but in ALL pictures the cream looks white.
You guys are awesome, so glad I found this forum!

- May 21, 2013, 04:08:38 AMLucinda - The wheel lock does not have to be removed or altered. The guard is an exact fit, so the trick is in fitting it up. As Ratman said...fit all bolts loose, then tighten everything up.....but the order may help.
Fit the top two small bolts under the wheel lock first (after you've drilled new holes to mount the horn), then work down to the other attachment points. Since I had mine on and off a few time during the initial installation, I remember have a harder time when I started at the bottom and worked up....so again, start from the top down and once you have a bolt in every hole....make it up. It needs some persuasion, but once lined up correctly, fits like a glove.
