You ever figure out anything about the drinking problem??   The oil consumption?

My Drifter is also a 2003. And I don't understand what the stand offs are.

What year is yours? Does it have the 2 stand offs on the bevel drive? If you look under mods and tips about my bevel drive replacement, the pictures will show you what I'm talking about. The front bolts go into the Alt. cover, the rear go into those...http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=24586.25

Lemme know here, if it doesn't fit. I have some extra stand-offs from my bevel drive adventure...

Will do. Troll, can't I just use the exhausting hardware?

I took a chance and bought it.

Hope this fits. If not, back on eBay!

I think the cover is the same, but you will need lots of hardware. The 4 chrome socket head screws that hold it on go into special stand-offs, not just holes in the engine case. The stand offs are located on the bevel housing. The alternator cover on the '99 is domed, and flat on the '01 and later to make room for the chrome cover...Those chromed inner covers are almost as rare as a solo seat rail.

I found a 2003 engine cover that has a chrome inner. Would that fit?

Is the 2003 1500 the same in  both the Drifter and Nomad models?

I'm certain others will have better info, but if I remember the answer is no. The flywheel is different.. Better low end torque on the drifter motor.. The classic 1500 is the bolt on alternative if I recall..
