- August 21, 2010, 11:45:35 AMDid a little research online and if you look at OEM shocks the 2000 Classic and Drifter use the same part numbers. This makes me believe that the Progressive 465-1048 should work. I am running this be Progressive and I will let you know what they say.

So its find something that works but isn't listed for it, or buy from kaw.

- August 15, 2010, 21:04:00 PMMaking a list of upgrades to make over the winter and tops is an upgrade to the rear shock and spring. Thinking about Progressing Suspension 465 (PN 465-1048) but they do not list the 800 Drifter on their sight. They do list the Vulcan 800 and Vulcan Classic 800 and both use the 465-1048. Will that work on the Drifter? Anyone using this shock? Is it worth the money?
