folks just think its too much black,

there is no such thing as too much black.......I like the black out look on my 99 and am really happy with it and have found some small ways to get rid of even some of the small pieces of chrome.

 I keep an eye out for a wrecked or a parted 800 on the cheap for spare parts I may one day need, and I am quite surprised at how many 2000 800 drifters I've seen for sale in the US in the past couple years.  I suppose alot of folks just think its too much black,   I dunno  :-\

very nice ride!
My uneducated guess is the 800 blacked out drifters will be the most sought after 10+ years now.

To be honest, blacked out Drifters were literally the only ones I even looked for. I was 16 in 1999 and was working at moto dealer when we uncrated a 1500 in gooseberry, and it was the very first cruiser I found appealing in any way, shape or form. I've still never grown fond of any other cruisers really besides original Indians and 1999-2000 Drifters. I've rented Harleys on vacation before, and though they're fine for a day here and there I just don't care for them. Not to mention a "nice" new Harley costs multiple times what Drifters currently sell for. I'd like to think they'll go up in value as well for nicely kept examples!

That's probably a good guess, IMO.  I know it seems to be the least- available right now, at least in the US, from my searches.

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:

very nice ride!

It is definitely comfy especially once I get underway. It's a little wider than I'm used to (ie, the bike next to it, and 2 motocross bikes) at a stoplight, but it's great on the highway. I have the stock seat I need to put on for a little while because the girlfriend wants to go for a ride wahoo  :)

 Sweet !  You will really like the Corbin seat. I have that seat on my 800,and really fits the Drifter (and me) well. The bags are a nice match to the seat as well. Also very similar to my bags. Nice!
