Keep this fact in mind, before you change the air cleaner cover...the 1500 and the 800 are DIFFERENT, and the 800s are not easy to find!

Definitely noted. I used to have a 1999 Vulcan 1500 Classic so I'm pretty familiar with that motor and know it's FI and not carb'd like the 800.

I did a quick ebay search and it appeared that any of these would work for the 800:

I would think most VN800 air cleaners would work on the Drifter, but I could be wrong!

I love the look of the stock exhaust, but I plan to debaffle mine and was thinking of having it sand blasted and powdercoated black. I have also considered getting an aftermarket exhaust and powdercoating that black to keep the factory exhaust in tact to retain OEM parts for resale later.

Along the same lines, has anyone ever done the same to the air cleaner cover? I personally do not care for chrome, so I wouldn't mind ditching that large shiny bit of chrome right in the middle of the bike! It looks like it would be easy to pick up an OEM air cleaner cover on ebay for ~$50, so I may give it a shot with a second one to keep my factory one in tact.
