Here's mine back in '44.
That's cool, you photo-shopped a Drifter in there? Nice touch.

- November 16, 2009, 12:10:47 PMI like my Drifter for what it is a : Drifter / Classic / Retro bike. Mine was bought used and came with a Indian head fender light and it will stay till I find a fender light I like better. I will not debage mine nor will I Indianized it either and I won't berate anyone who does. I try to build on the retro style. I have read that the best looking Drifters are the 800's because of the suspension system is unseen and that is a nice feature. I'm also aware that black and chrome is a very favorable color on these bikes. These are opinions. I searched 3 years for the bike I have now. I get allot of complements few from the HD crowed and I don't care. I have a machine that will ride me into the asphalt. The Drifters are starting to go up in value and that is cool also. I try not to bike bash and appreciate all there is out there. Now those little scooters.....

- September 08, 2009, 15:50:20 PMMine a 99 1500 was "Indianized" when I purchased it....I was actually lookin for a VTX 1800 when this bike kept poppin into the search engine...and the difference in price points was phenominal..... Took the ride to the dealer a long way away....and test rode the bike with no other intention than gettin out of this area for a few hours....The ride was so good that I never looked back, and been ridin ever since...Ive had one or two onlookers make the remark "Nice for a fake Indian"...to which I reply....Its not an Indian, its a Drifter....and by the way what are you riding.....hmmm nothin......take care....
All I can really say is be happy if you are riding...cause lots of folks arent....
FIDO....

- September 08, 2009, 15:39:56 PMFender lights were on most of the big bikes in the Indian era. I've seen a number of harleys with old indian fender lights... 60's and 70's vintage. And, when I find the right one I'll put one on my drifter.
We do sell the Indian fender lights - they are big and they look good when appropriately placed on the fender.
I might say, I use HD stuff on my drifter too... if it looks good I don't care what brand it belongs to... LOL
Cheers.

- September 08, 2009, 12:40:05 PMI bought a '99 a couple of weeks back, all black, already debadged. I love the retro Indian look. I wasn't planning on a fender ornament for the very reasons you stayed, but with those Roadhouse duals I thought it needed a touch more chrome up front, found one on ebay for $30 and bolted it on Friday. I love it. I get even more positive comments than before. No, I don't let people think it's an Indian, but it looks like one, and is better in every way. FWIW, I ride a fake Ducati too, but will not be putting any ornaments on my Superhawk

- September 06, 2009, 21:21:38 PMI have the indian head fender ornament on my bike for a couple of reasons....1) it's my bike and I paid for her...2) I like how she looks with the fender ornament.....3) to each his own in preference on anything in life. There isn't any reason to call people names or try to insult them on something they like just because another individual doesn't. I love the look and the ride of my bike, fender ornament and all. Call me a poser if that makes you feel better about yourself.
Kim...the poser and proud of it
