    ;)
          Well it worked out good for you, and so nice to get a picture of your son with the bike.
  Yup like I said you have a fender rack on that machine. It all looks really nice, of course just my own personal opinion but needs WW tires on that beast......
  let us know what other changes you  plan....congrats to you.

Thank you! I am definitely thinking of WW tires. I've never had them before on any bike, but I may put them on this one. I want to see what the manufacture date is on them because even though they have great tread, they may be too old to be safe. I also like the Metzler ME 880s. The rack is really cool and I'm glad it has it. I'm going to pull off the bags for daily use and only put them on for road trips. I'm thinking of buying another stock exhaust that's already been cut down and de-baffled and having it ceramic coated, the bike rejetted, and powder coating a spare air cleaner black, but that's it other than regular maintenance.

Oh and that's not my son - that's me! LOL

As some of you may have noticed, I restarted my search for a Drifter in earnest last week. Apparently the stars aligned perfectly, and I found the perfect bike in Las Vegas Tuesday, made a deal over the phone, transferred the money, arranged shipping, and had it delivered this afternoon! It's one of the smoothest and easiest deals I've done (isn't that when you know it's right?), and I'm super excited. Even though it snowed pretty good here Friday night, it was 72 this afternoon so I went for a quick ride. I'll probably be rejetting it soon and do some exhaust mods, but it's pretty much ready to go. Can't wait for the riding season to really get going! As per usual in the interwebs, it ain't real without pics so here is the evidence:
