He's already getting worked up , and accusing me of referring to him as stealing ideas . No such thing ! Ideas are for all my fellow riders to enjoy , and if need be follow suite . Now there's projects that may , or may not be the look I'm after , but there are those that I have used from others .Richie old man we are heading in opposite directions on our rides so I would not be needing to steal your ideas, and I am not in the position to spend beaucoup dollars, so do it myself with Dave's guidance, and all my parts other then the rear spring are here and ready to install. But I can post a few pictures of me working late in my shop coat, for you............

- November 25, 2013, 12:16:45 PMHey Richie, I found the perfect helmet for your bike for next spring. I was at the Iron Pony, our local bike accessory shop over the weekend. I was looking for some ideas for a certain secret project I'm working on.... (Oh, Dont' tell Ratman- like you said, it will drive him nutty about January trying to figure it out...)
ANYWAYS, found this helmet and thought of YOU.....Here's the link, but I got better pics in the store....

New progressive front fork springs
Both sprockets swapped out for the 18/38 mod ( seems to be the best highway fix ) and new chain to go with this mod
New passing lights and fabricated light mounts with a water proof micro switch on the tank panel for on/off control
rectifier cover ( sending template to a good friend on Tuesday
mocked up the new rotor cover today so off to powder coater it will go

That's the whole idea ratman . Like you I have plans just have to find the right parts And a little hint I don't want a black out drive light like everyone else has I have something different in mind

- November 12, 2013, 16:25:44 PMDak I've seen the k model on a lot of drifters ( pics of course ) and they do add style and look awesome . I particularly like how it seats deep with the high front . Great saddle feel I would imagine . I'm really not sure if the fender trim is/was designed to protect the Indian light ? But now that you say that it would make sense . I added the rail to dress up the fender a tad that's all . I never installed the Indian light , placed it on the fender took some pics , got thinking about it and changed my mind . I Love the design of the Indian head dress chrome with black into it , really great detail . Just decided against putting Indian on my scoot . I'm still searching for some projects as far as a light goes . A one mock up look

- November 12, 2013, 07:01:50 AMOh I just like to spout off about all my newfound seat knowledge. I'm a seat know it all now. It's the Drifter weak point IMO. My Drifter is begging for a low profile with a smallish seat so I ordered a seat from Singh that is in the style of a Gilroy seat and am going to have that cut down and reworked by a local guy. I just need all matching leather. Here's the k-model seat I'm going with on...something. This one looks great on a Drifter and Singh should be selling this to Drifter folks, again, IMO. The shape of it really lends itself to the drifter geometry. The way it's deep dished and kicks up in front vs the Singh seat which is a little too flat for my taste. Works very well on a Police or military bike though and looks much better on an 800 then on a 1500. I'm not positive but isn't that front fender rail on yours supposed to protect the indian head fender ornament? I saw you took it off.

- November 11, 2013, 17:48:43 PMThanks dak ,Sorry brother I didn't know what the seat was called LOL . That seat was actually the po had on it when I picked it up . Trying different mods on these scoots is a blast of fun . Can't wait to see all your new leather on yours .

- November 11, 2013, 17:15:20 PMYea, that looks good like that. That is one pretty Drifter I agree. He made that seat himself but I think it's based on a k model harley seat pan (my next seat no doubt). The velocipede was the name of your old seat. It looked good too. Good looking ride you got there. Don't you love trying out new stuff on it?
