Thanks!  The wheels are stock drifter equipment, I just powder coated them black, spokes and all.

Awesome ride, way jealous.  Where did you get your rims?  The look like they are black rims and black spokes.

OK I'm jealous... I can't wait for July 4th to get here, That's when I start my ride to Durango. My plan was the lodging you had. I think my wife has other plans (Hotels). Even then the ride won't be near as long as your. Glad you had a great trip.....Ride ride ride

oh yeah, I forgot to brag...no windshield.  It rained everyday when we were in the south, but it was scattered and we just rode through it.  You'll notice in the photos that I was wearing my rain gear on the Dragon...pretty much wore it the entire trip.  During hard rain I use a neoprene mask which helps a lot, along with water proof kayaking gloves.  My riding boots were soaked the entire trip so I was continuously changing boot liners (plastic shopping bags).
Here are a couple pics of some of our roadside lodgings...the price was right.  When you wake up and the first thing you see is your bike are you still dreaming?

Not to brag (OK, maybe a little), but I had to tell the group.  I put 2400 miles on my 2000 1500 Drifter last week covering WI, IL, KY, TN, AL, GA, NC, OH, IN, and OH.  What a ride, 300-400 miles/day, a lot of mountain miles, a bit of rain, and the Drifter never missed a beat.  The bike seemed to get more attention than ever as people flocked to it at literally every stop.  This thing is as reliable as it is beautiful...the perfect bike!  I love it.
