I believe they just rest on the rear fender and have padding underneath to keep them from scratching the paint. He claims there is no paint damage underneath, so I'll probably keep them off for the most part and only use them for longer trips. I like the way the rear fender looks too much to keep it covered all the time!That looks good, I'm not familier with the 800 so forgive me if this is a stupid question but what is holding those bags on?

we know Roy Garber has passed away in life so he cannot transport your Drifter for you.
Jennifer is in the family way?
So it has to be Marc, Jarrett, and final choice is Rob and Chris....so who did you pick..........Nice ride glad it all worked out right for you.........
It was Robert actually! I'm excited because he said there will be room for the extra boxes with the stock parts. It's funny in a way because I used to live in Las Vegas for 8 years and looked high and low for a Drifter when I lived there, and then I move back to Denver and the Drifter I'm buying is out of Vegas!

It only has 7,100 miles and comes with: every receipt for service and parts since new, the stock seat, a deluxe cover, a brand new never used motorcycle jack, 2 helmets and basically all the other stock bits taken off over the years. The gentleman is in his 70s and decided to get rid of it and sell to an enthusiast. He was VERY excited I knew so much about it and was super easy to deal with. We basically had one long conversation, I transfered him money, arranged shipping and he Fedex'd the titled. Super smooth transaction!DenverDuc: Glad to see you stuck to what your were looking for. Don't need the details on $$$ but will say, but in the blacked out years, I like this color combination. Indian motif not over the top. There are other options for how the bags attach, but it looks good. How much mileage?

- March 05, 2014, 12:29:34 PMFunds are transferred and shipping is scheduled! I happened to find a sweet 2000 800 Drifter on CL, called the guy, inked a deal, transferred the money, scheduled the shipping, and am going to be getting the bike next week here in Denver!
I'm pretty stoked as the first one seemed to be like it would have been a lot of work and a long wait as the guy was going to try to meet me in mid-April when he drove through the country. I think this one is cleaner and was obviously much easier. I'll add more pictures once I get it in Denver, but here she is:

- March 04, 2014, 19:36:53 PMI nabbed my 2002 800 for $2600. (Can see in the Introduction Thread). Craigslist is my bestest friend in the world. If i'm looking for something that's my first stop.

- March 04, 2014, 17:32:58 PMI'd agree with the others but optional add on's are hard to come by, especially blackout add on's, so that could affect price.

It looks like quality airbrushing, but questionable taste... I've considered emailing about buying the two up seat and rear rack. Never have though. I might have to do that...It's funny you posted the one in Topeka as I saw that last night night and thought what in the heck was that person thinking with the paint?! I personally prefer things to be factory stock when I buy, so the paint was a huge turnoff. It would cost a lot of money to bring it back to a factory look otherwise it could be a decent buy.
