That taillight thing is cool.  Wonder what other goodies they have over there?  I'd love a lights switch if there is such a thing (I"v purchased euro-spec light switches for some of my old Hondas).

Anyone know where to find euro spec parts fiches for the Drifter?

  Actually that looks like a simple add on. Not sure why or for what, but it seems simple enough.

have to look for something like that .......

That's right, it's the 1999 colour. Here's pics of the tail light:

Is that an original Drifter colour or has it been painted?

That would be the stock color for a 1999 Drifter 800.  http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/historyp3.html

I went through that taillight thing with a guy from England... it's stock, but not for N. America..too bad, it's pretty neat looking!

I agree, that's a nice read!  Is that an original Drifter colour or has it been painted?

Ha ha, neither forest ranger nor fire fighter!  ;D I spotted the extinguisher at the hardware store ($7) and immediately realized what a perfect "Drifter accessory" it would make. Same thing with the fuel can, which I already had. They're stuff for looks, that also can be useful.  :)

The bib was on the bike when I bought it, so I'm afraid I have no clue as to where You can buy them. I'm pretty darn sure the tail light is stock. Maybe they were different for the european market? I'll post a close-up of it later.  :)

Looks great, and I like the theme going on, but where did that tank bib come from?  I've not seen one available that widens out at the top to encompass the fuel filler like that.  Did you make it?  The tail light is different too.  What's the story there?

  ok the question is begging to be asked, you have a fuel can on one side and a fire extinguisher on the other side, WHY?......are you a forest Ranger, or fire fighter?

The fuel can I really like.

That is one sweet looking colour of red and it looks like a really nice bike, I am takne with it, olooks really nice. I would like a closer look at the tail light however.

Yup just something about that colour and look of that bike is so good.
