- January 23, 2014, 19:36:08 PMWelcome Newbie. Not long ago I was in your same situation so decided to fire up the torch, welder, and die grinder and fab my own. Here are two shots of the one built. The one photo off the bike was a first pass. This one mounted too low. Just be aware that the rear fender travels up and down twice as much as you think. The second photo shown on he bike was the final. The final one was raised 4" to clear the fender travel. I have since gone to the single seat so I have no other photos of the rack on the bike.
Good Luck

- January 23, 2014, 19:09:25 PMHi!, this is my 1st Drifter, a 1500, 2002 with 14K and in great shape, I already have a custom Softail........S&S motor......the whole 9 yards......custom paint........and ironically.........many think it looks like an Indian!!!!!! got a 1500 Classic, actually 2.......on that doesn't run right now......and a 74 Honda Chopper project. What I don't got is a luggage rack for my new Drifter. I've seen the type I want............just can't find it...............VDR Member "Troll" has one on his very nice Drifter. Where does one find one like that. I have bags, mounted on rails attached to the seat that came on the bike.
Been riding Harleys for years........and I bought Classic 5 years ago........and fell in love with it!!!! Smooth, reliable, easy to work on(see modify)and sounds great. So, like on other here..............I'm a reformed Harley Rider!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me what that rack is, where I can find it.....etc........otherwise I have to fire up the torch and welder..............
